Energy prices continue to climb
Signals about the increase in prices appeared within the last few days when companies selling electricity to clients commenced negotiations with power plants concerning deliveries for 2009.
According to experts, market prices will go up by 25 percent on average. From new year, there will be no need to negotiate prices with the Energy Regulation Office (URE). Higher prices are also demanded by Polish Oil and Gas (PGNiG) and the firm hopes to raise prices by a dozen percent as of October 1.
Similarly "When coal goes up, fees for heat will increase on average by 8%," said Bogusław Regulski, deputy chairman of the Economic Chamber of Polish Heating Companies (IGCP).
Forecasts also envisage inflation of 3.6-3.7 percent in 2009, which might be pushed up by another 0.5 percent in case of large growth in energy prices.
