Until now, the rules for suspending the power fee have enabled lower energy bills. However, in 2025, rates from PLN 2.86 to PLN 16.01 net of net per month, depending on the total power consumption, were foreseen.
The Energy Regulatory Office on Friday posted the final results of the supplementary auction at the 2nd half of 2025, and the minister did not decide to annul them. In practice, this means that from July a power fee in the indicated amount will be charged, and its final level at 2025 will be determined in September 2024.

The average household in Poland consumes about 2,000-2,500 Energy kwh per year, which indicates that Most users will be in the upper calculations. This means that the return of the power fee can significantly affect the final accounts for electricity.
