Abstract
In the first part of the paper presents economic basis of growing importance of energy costs and consumption in agriculture. The second part based on FADN (Farm Accountancy Data Network) presents importance of energy costs for individual farms in relation to their type. It was revealed that the cost of energy have the greatest significance for the horticulture farms, representing up to 33% of all costs incurred. In other types of households energy costs represent from 7.24% of the cost for the permanent crops up to 15.75% for the field crops. In the period 2007–2012 there was an increase in the cost of energy in almost all types of households (with the exception of horticulture) both average per farm and per 1 ha of agricultural land.
