At the same time, after the price liberalization, electricity costs for the average person farms house increase significantly. “Gazeta Wyborcza” writes about the return of the capacity fee from January. It will increase the amount of bills by PLN 14 full per month, or PLN 168 per year.

The sale price and distribution of energy should be added to this. If the government decides not to “freeze” additional prices currentcustomers will pay rates according to tariffs approved by the Energy Regulatory Office. GW calculates that for most electricity consumers this means a price increase of 23%. up to 76 groszy gross per kilowatt hour.

Wholesale energy prices in Poland are among the highest in Europe. According to data from Polityka Insight, in July they amounted to EUR 109 per MWh.

The average price in Poland for the past seven months, amounting to EUR 90 per MWh, it was ranked third among EU countries, just after Italy and Ireland.

“The reasons are related to the structure of the mixture energy. We have many burdensome times today. Moving away from coal, although it will take us a long time, is progressing. Therefore, we should pay less and less for expensive coal allowances and emissions. The problem is that the pace of this transformation is not enough,” Grzegorz Wiśniewski, president of the Renewable Energy Institute, explained to money.pl.

The Polish energy mix is ​​still largely based on coal. Last year, the share of this raw material was 60.5%. Producing one megawatt hour of energy from coal costs over PLN 700, and this cost is increasing regularly. This means that coal is still a key element of our energy mix, the higher the electricity production costs.
