In the second half of 2024, electricity prices for the industry in Poland exceeded **** euros per kilowatt-hour. Electricity prices in households in Poland The energy intensity of enterprises in Poland is one of the highest in the European Union and much higher than in Western European countries. Companies cannot compensate for rising energy prices in the prices of their products. Therefore, they are forced to seek other alternatives. Rising electricity prices for the industry are pushing entrepreneurs not only to save energy but also to look for their own sources of energy production, which would ultimately improve energy efficiency and reduce operating costs for many enterprises. Electricity prices for households in Poland amounted to **** euros per kilowatt-hour in the second half of 2023. The low prices in 2019 were mainly the result of the government's freezing of electricity prices to final recipients. However, the government increased energy prices from 2020. This will meant an increase in the cost of living for the average citizen. Not only energy prices rose, but also the prices of goods and services dependent on energy. Wholesale electricity prices in Poland Wholesale electricity prices in Poland were the highest in Central and Eastern Europe as of February 2024. Prices ranged increased from ***** zloty per megawatt-hour in March 2018 to nearly *** thousand zloty per megawatt-hour in August 2022. The increase in wholesale electricity prices is mainly due to the price of coal. Coal is the primary fuel used to produce energy in Poland. In 2019, ** TWh of power was produced from hard coal and ** TWh from lignite. Another reason for higher energy prices is the rising price of CO2 emission allowances and the expected increase in generation capacity in the heating sector.

In the observed period, weighted average monthly electricity prices on the day-ahead market in Poland increased from ****** zloty/MWh in January 2018 to over ****** zloty/MWh (****** EUR/MWh) in July 2025. The record weighted average price occurred in August 2022, exceeding ***** zloty. Consumption of electricity in Poland Electricity is essential to modern life and vital to every country’s economy. Starting in 1990, the final annual electricity consumption reached a value of ***** terawatt-hours. It eventually grew to *** tWh in 2023, which happened to be a *** percent decrease compared to the previous year. Consumption of solar photovoltaic power has become popular recently, and the capacity of solar photovoltaic per inhabitant in Poland has also significantly increased, rising from just *** watts per inhabitant in 2013 to ***** W/inhab in 2023. In 2023, **** million customers in Poland used electricity with consumption lower than ** megawatt-hours. Electricity production from renewables Throughout the years, there have been different methods and sources of electricity production worldwide. Starting in 2012, the electricity production from solar photovoltaic power generated only *** gigawatt-hours. In 2023, Poland's electricity production volume from solar photovoltaic power reached a peak of over ** terawatt hours. Another source of electricity production was the wind. The production of electricity from wind steadily increased from **** gigawatt-hours in 2000 to ****** gigawatt-hours in 2023. Biogas and biomass also play a significant role in the production of electricity. In 2012, electricity production from biogas and biomass was the highest at around ****** gigawatt-hours. However, in 2022, the production decreased, reaching ***** GWh.

Prices for annual gas consumption for industry in Poland fluctuated slightly between 2008 and 2020. However, prices began to rise from the first half of 2021, reaching their peak in the second half of 2022 at more than *** euro cents per kilowatt hour. The lowest annual price for gas consumption occurred in 2016, at **** euros per kWh. In the first half of 2024, prices dropped to **** euro cents per kilowatt hour. Structure of natural gas supplies to Poland Gas purchases from abroad, in the amount of ***** TWh, were supplemented with gas from domestic sources in the amount of ** TWh. Total gas supplies from abroad in 2022 included imports and intra-Community acquisitions. Imports from the eastern direction, carried out under a long-term contract concluded between PGNiG S.A. and Gazprom, continued to account for a significant part of the total gas supplies from abroad. However, in 2022, the Polish government passed a resolution to terminate the agreement from 1993 with Gazprom on the supply of Russian gas to Poland. The consumption of natural gas in Poland increased between 2005 and 2022. Throughout 2023, PKN ORLEN (former PGNiG) imported approximately **** bn m3 of natural gas to Poland. Domestic production amounted to *** billion cubic meters. Structure of LNG supply to Poland PGNiG has successfully continued its strategy of becoming independent from one dominant supplier. In addition to the expansion of the LNG portfolio, the Company is preparing to start supplying the Polish market with gas produced on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, whose transport via the Baltic Pipe through the North Sea, Denmark, and the Baltic Sea will begin at the end of 2022. The construction of the LNG Terminal in Świnoujście was a positive investment from the standpoint of supply security, enabling gas supplies from global gas markets. This investment has contributed to a fundamental change in the country's gas energy mix, thanks to which currently *** of the country's gas consumption can be satisfied with LNG supplies. Thus, in 2023, imports from the East amounted to approximately *** billion cubic meters, compared to around **** billion m3 in 2016. LNG imports (from Qatar, Norway, and the USA) in 2023 increased and reached *** billion cubic meters (after regasification), compared to 2016 when about *** billion cubic meters of LNG was imported (after regasification).

India CNG Market size was valued at USD 25.7 Billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 70.4 Billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 13.4% from 2026 to 2032.Key Market DriversGovernment Support through Energy Policy: Poland's energy transformation is being propelled by strong government backing and strategic energy policy. The National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) sets a target of 32% renewable energy in the electrical sector by 2030, demonstrating the country's commitment to sustainable energy development. The government set aside around 3.2 billion PLN (nearly €700 million) between 2019 and 2023 for solar subsidy plans, which considerably increased household solar installations. This government support is accelerating the shift by decreasing household financial burdens, increasing clean energy use, and linking national efforts with EU climate goals.Rising Electricity Prices: Rising electricity rates in Poland are accelerating the transition to solar energy as a cost-effective alternative. According to data from the Energy Regulatory Office (URE), household energy rates would rise by approximately 24% in 2022 and another 15% in 2023. The Polish Central Statistical Office (GUS), the average household power cost in 2023 was 0.87 PLN per kWh, a roughly 61% rise from 2020. These substantial price increases are encouraging consumers to seek long-term savings and energy independence, making solar installations more appealing because they help minimize dependency on the grid and safeguard houses from potential price fluctuations.

In 2024, diesel prices in Poland decreased compared to the previous year, amounting to **** euros per liter. Causes of fuel price fluctuations in Poland in 2018 The increase in fuel prices in Poland was mainly influenced by changes in the international oil and fuel markets and by changes in the exchange rate of the Polish currency to the U.S. dollar. The strengthening of the zloty's exchange rate to the dollar slowed down the scale of price rises for Polish fuel consumers. In 2018, the international situation did not ensure stable prices on the market. Waiting for the introduction of oil sanctions against Iran, a possible trade war between the U.S. and China, or information about a potential further reduction in oil production by OPEC+ countries resulted in rising oil prices in global markets. As soon as it became clear that neither sanctions on Iran nor restrictions on oil production affected the supply of crude oil on the world market as expected, prices on the markets started to fall. Nevertheless, drivers and transport companies have not benefited from the rising average annual prices, although state VAT revenues have increased significantly. Higher sales of liquid fuels, rising prices, and an increase in the number of cars on Polish roads have also resulted in additional income for Polish oil companies. Biofuel market in Poland Transport is the sector that accounts for one of the most significant shares of total carbon dioxide emissions from fuel combustion. Complete replacement of oil in transport is possible but costly. The data show that the consumption of biodiesel in transport is higher every year, and, like energy, transportation has a mandatory target for Renewable Energy Systems in 2020. The dominant renewable energy source in transport is biodiesel, followed by bioethanol and renewable electricity in rail transport. The average EU share of RES in transport is over * percent, while in Poland, it is steadily growing, reaching nearly * percent in 2018.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, prices for imported natural gas from the EU increased by ** percent compared to the previous quarter, reaching ****** zloty per megawatt hour. Foreign contracts affect gas fuel prices on the Polish wholesale market, reflected in gas prices for end customers.

First, domestic prices were measured based on the Polish Power Coal Market Index for sales to professional and industrial energy (PSCM1). Since 2017, coal prices in Poland have been steadily increasing, reaching the highest price of ****** zloty/metric ton in the third quarter of 2023. Global coal prices were measured by the ARA index (based on the prices of futures contracts in the ports of Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp). The ARA index has fallen since the third quarter of 2018, closing the second quarter of 2020 at *** zloty/metric tons. In the fourth quarter of 2024, coal prices were lower on the global market than on the Polish market (considering the current USD/PLN exchange rate), reaching over *** zloty per metric ton.

During the observed period, the total cost of service ownership was the most crucial factor in choosing Poland's outsourced data center service provider. However, the number of respondents who pay attention to technical parameters of facilities, SLA conditions, references, portfolio, provider brand, or lower energy prices decreased over the years.
