Development of fuels and energy systems is widely supported by models on different levels. Most common are global or country level as well as sectoral ones. Polish energy system depends on hard coal supplies and coal sector models are required to make valid provisions of energy system development. The paper describes briefly three such models: of coal supplies, coal market and coal supplies for power generation. The first model is devoted to the analysis of coal mining restructuring and development, the sector facing substantial changes in transformation period. The coal market model is of spatial equilibrium type and is used for forecasting coal prices and distribution. Power sector, which produces more than 60% of electricity from hard coal, needs detailed data on supplies perspectives in order to take devoid of risk decisions on investments forced by stringent emissions regulations. The model has been worked out to provide such data.
