“A race more costly than rent! Who truly pays for your light?”

Have your energy bills already exceeded the rent? This is no joke. In Poland every 5th household pays more for electricity than for renting an flat – and nobody wants to talk about it out loud. Where are the promises of inexpensive energy? And why Energy company CEOs laughter at the bankWhile your savings are melting at lightning rate?

• Families heating the home with electricity (about 1.2 million farms) pay 720-1200 zł/month
• Residents of old blocks with electrical furnaces – accounts scope 650 zł at 3000 kWh/year
• Warsaw vs. village: In the capital the rent for the studio is 1800 zł, while electricity at home 120 m2 on Mazovia – 1900 zł

For comparison: In Germany, where energy is ‘road’, the average cost for a akin farm is PLN 410. Why the difference?

Silent Budget Killer: Hidden Fees in Accounts

"Energy in Poland is simply a systemic scandal. We pay for outdated infrastructure and sick regulations" – the thunder of prof. Marek Kamiński from Warsaw University of Technology.

Map of shame: Where does electricity cost the most?

• 1st place: Warmińsko-Mazurskie – 0,94 zł/kWh (high network transmission losses)
• 2nd place: Podkarpacie – 0.91 PLN/kWh

Black screenplay: What if the current goes up another 50%?

Analyzers BloombergNEF They warn: In the absence of investments in RES and the collapse of mining, by 2025 we can pay PLN 1,40/kWh. That means:

• Increasing energy poverty of the current 12% to 23% of farms
• Mass off receivers - Back to candle age?

While the government handles ‘patan’ of the payment scheme (PLN 300 erstwhile a quarter!), energy companies are preparing further increases. The only escape? Own photovoltaics, energy retention and social negotiations. The question is: How many families will go bankrupt before Poles realize that Energy slavery is simply a choice, not a fate?
