The Act extends by the end of 2025 the current right to use by households from a frozen electricity price at the level of PLN 500 per MWH net.
Zbigniew Bogucki estimated that this law is “important for many Polish families.” “In short, energy prices will be frozen for the next quarter,” noted the presidential minister.
In his opinion, the signed Act “is not perfect” because it does not provide for freezing energy prices, e.g. for entrepreneurs, farmers, local governments and hospitals. “Well, but this solution that has been proposed is good for Poles, it is good for those who can use it,” said the head of the Chancellery of the President of the Republic of Poland. He also pointed out that “not everyone would be able to use a heating voucher.”

What is a heating voucher
Pursuant to the new regulations, a heating voucher is to be support for households using system heat in the second half of 2025 and in all of 2026. The voucher will be awarded on the basis of income criteria. Households will receive it, which: they reach a monthly income equal to or lower than PLN 3,272.69 in the case of single farms; They reach an income equal to or lower than PLN 2454.52 per person in the case of multiplayer. In addition, these farms will have to use the system heat supplied by the energy company and pay for heat above PLN 170/GJ.
The “zloty for a zloty” will apply – the voucher will be granted even after exceeding the income criterion, but its amount will be reduced by the amount of this exceeding. The minimum voucher amount is PLN 20; Below this amount, the voucher will not be paid.
