As a sharp increase in energy prices has been observed in recent months, the Polish Parliament, following the Council of the European Union, introduced a new emergency intervention in the electricity market to protect end-users and businesses from potential harm due to the current unstable situation. Energy price caps for specific eligible offtakers, mechanisms for redistributing excess profits of energy producers and instruments promoting a reduction in electricity demand have been adopted. The new laws will have a profound impact on the electricity market in Poland and on all of its participants.
