Abstract

The main purpose of the paper is to analyze the renewable energy market and its importance for the agricultural sector. In order to assess the renewable energy market in the agricultural sector, a questionnaire survey was carried out among farmers. The survey was conducted in the years 2020-2021 in a group of 400 farm owners. A 15-question questionnaire was used to conduct the study. This study covered two issues, namely: the use of renewable energy sources and the production of renewable energy on farms. In order to characterize the current state of the renewable energy market, secondary data from the Energy Regulatory Office (ERO) were used. The use of renewable energy in agriculture makes it possible to solve various challenges related to the use of fossil fuels, and what is important, is associated with little or no emission to the environment of pollutants and greenhouse gases. The conducted analyzes allow to draw conclusions that the market of renewable energy sources in rural areas has great potential and significant importance for the agricultural sector, however, it requires efforts to increase the interest in using renewable energy sources.
