About electricity prices in Poland

Poland still generates most of its electricity from hard coal and lignite, although wind and solar have expanded rapidly and gas plays a growing role. Households buy from a universal supplier at tariffs approved by the Energy Regulatory Office, URE, and the government has at times frozen household prices, while customers are free to switch to competing offers.

Bills are issued in złoty and include distribution charges, a capacity fee and several levies in addition to the energy price. Single-rate tariffs are most common, with two-rate tariffs offering cheaper night and weekend hours for homes with electric heating or heat pumps. Coal and gas boilers and district heating are the main heating sources, and millions of households have become prosumers with rooftop solar.
