From 1997 to 2001, he participates in projects introducing an electricity market in the province of Ontario, Canada.

He has twice been an advisor to the Polish government. He works on the preparation of the Polish electricity market project, which is implemented in 2000-2001. During this period, he participates in the design of the rules of the balancing market and develops computer programs - LPD - Linear Programming Dispatch for planning the operation of the electricity system in the Day Ahead system. As an advisor to the Minister of Economy in 2005-2007, he prepares a program for the consolidation of the Polish electric power industry adopted in March 2006 by the government and implemented in 2006-2007, and participates in the drafting of a law terminating long-term contracts and introducing a system of compensation fees.
