The Ministry of Climate and Environment estimates that most households will see a 29% increase in electricity bills in the second half of the year, while gas bills will rise by 15%. This is outlined in the proposed bill on energy vouchers, which takes effect on July 1, 2024, when the freeze on energy and gas prices ends.
The bill introduces new tariffs and maximum prices, as well as support in the form of vouchers for the most vulnerable consumers. Electricity providers will need to apply for new tariffs with the Energy Regulatory Office.
The new maximum price for electricity will be set at PLN 500 MWh for households and PLN 693 MWh for local governments, public utilities, and small and medium-sized enterprises. Energy vouchers aim to offset the increased costs for lower-income households. For natural gas, the maximum price will equal PGNiG's approved tariff rate.
