Polish families whose annual income falls within the first tax threshold will not pay higher bills for electricity in 2019 compared to 2018, the Minister of Energy Krzysztof Tchórzewski said.
Earlier Tchórzewski told the Polish Press Agency (PAP) that in 2019 the electricity bills for households should not rise more than 5 percent, because it would be "socially unacceptable". "The state will ensure that the possible increases are not higher" - he claimed.
The Ministry is working on bills to compensate effects of European Union climate policy. The solutions should protect households from the hike in energy prices related to the growing costs of CO2 emission allowances.
