How the Polish price is set

Poland is a single bidding zone in the European day-ahead market; since 1 October 2025 the noon auction sets 96 quarter-hour prices for the next day. We show prices in złoty, converted from euro at the European Central Bank's reference rate for the day.

Since 24 August 2024, suppliers with at least 200,000 customers must offer a dynamic-price contract, which needs a remotely read meter. At the end of 2025 about 48% of households had one, but only around 4,800 households had signed a dynamic contract. Distribution charges, the capacity fee, excise duty and VAT come on top of the energy price.

Our final price adds the variable G11 distribution charge of the grid operator you choose (Tauron by default; about PLN 0.25–0.35 per kWh before VAT in 2026, and similar in 2024 and 2025), the quality, RES and CHP charges of the year, excise duty of PLN 5 per MWh, a sample supplier margin of PLN 0.06 per kWh and 23% VAT. The capacity fee and other fixed monthly charges are not included.

FAQ

When are tomorrow's prices published?
The day-ahead auction closes at 12:00 CET. Results are normally available from about 12:45–13:30 CET, and this site picks them up automatically.
Why are prices sometimes negative?
When wind and solar output is high and demand is low, some producers cannot or will not reduce output. The market then clears below zero. Whether you benefit depends on your contract.
Is the final price exactly what I pay?
No – it is an estimate built from official taxes and charges plus a sample supplier margin. Your own contract, grid area and fixed fees can differ.
