Polish families to pay PLN 3,000-4,000 less for electricity

The lower chamber of the Polish Parliament, Sejm, has supported the government's proposal and voted this week on an amendment to the law that raises the previous limits of electricity consumption at the frozen price level from the previous year. 

“As a result, the average Polish family will pay PLN 3,000-4,000 PLN less for electricity this year,' Maciej Maciejowski from the Polish Electricity Committee said.

As he emphasized, the new, more favorable solutions will cover all households, including those that exceeded the previous limit set in the Solidarity Shield. Small and medium-sized enterprises, local governments, and sensitive consumers will also pay less for electricity.

"Thanks to the government's solidarity shield, net prices for electricity in Poland for households have not increased year over year. They are slightly above PLN 0,4, or about 10 euro cents per kWh. Thus, they are among the lowest in Europe, as the EU average is around 25 euro cents per kWh. Prices were cheaper than in Poland in countries like Serbia, Hungary, and Albania, while they were the highest in the Czech Republic, Greece, and Ireland, where energy prices for households reached 40 euro cents per kWh," Maciej Maciejowski added.
