Freezing the rate per megawatt hour for citizens for 2023.

The war in Ukraine started by Russia caused rapid increase of the prices of electricity products around the Europe.

On the ongoing basis we prepare different instruments supporting security of polish families. Poland presents the most complex support package against energy crisis. We freeze prices for electricity:

• up to 2000 kWh per year for all the households,
• up to 3600 kWh per year for households including persons with disabilities,
• up to 3000 kWh per year for families with the Large Family Card and farmers.

Frozen prices are available for everyone. We have set the maximum price for persons exceeding this limit at PLN 693/MWh.

Examples of savings for citizens

In 2022 his/ her bills will be in total PLN 771.1. Next year without the governmental freeze of prices he/ she would pay PLN 1690.7. After introduction of the act, his/ her bills in 2023 will stay at the same level as they were this year.

Young couple

Two persons use 1600 kWh per year and stay within the limit of frozen rate up to 2000 kWh.

That is why in next year they will not see raises in electricity prices. In 2023 they will pay the same amount as in 2022, which is ca. PLN 1121.6.

This year a family with a child will pay PLN 1402 for electricity. Despite the prognosis for 2023 in amount PLN 3074, their bill for next year will be in the same amount as in 2022.
