On the website of the Government Legislation Center, a draft act on heating voucher and amending certain other acts was published on Friday. It provides for an extension of the maximum price for electricity at the level of PLN 500 per MWh for DowM farms by the end of 2025 and for the entire 2026. In accordance with applicable regulations, the mechanism of freezing energy prices for households is to apply until the end of September this year.

Let us remind you that a week ago President Karol Nawrocki vetoed the amendment to the so -called windmill act, which included a provision regarding the extension of freezing of electricity prices until the end of the year. – There is one act that I decided to veto. The windmill act, because in fact we should call it, is a kind of blackmail of the parliamentary majority and the government. This act applies to windmills, not a reduction in electricity prices – This is how the president justified his veto.
Nawrocki emphasized that he supported further freezing of energy prices and announced the submission of a bill in this case, which took place a few hours later.
The latest survey of the SW Research studio for “Wprost” shows that Poles are divided in the president’s decision. It is supported by 38.6 percent respondents, but 38.2 percent He evaluates the veto critically. 23 percent respondents have no opinion on this matter.
