No significant rise in energy prices due to coal reorganization

There will be no significant increase in energy prices due to the vertical integration of the coal mining sector, Deputy Energy Minister Andrzej Piotrowski informed the Sejm.

“There are no reasons to worry. In a vertically integrated structure, coal costs cease to have any meaning for energy costs,” Piotrowski said. He explained that vertical integration allows a rational approach to planning and enables well-thought-out moves to improve sector efficiency through better organization and investments.

“The result will be lower component costs of raw materials for the production of electricity from conventional energy. Therefore, this move will not translate into a price increase, and in the medium and long term will lead to price stability," Piotrowski added.
