Poland electricity price: the day-ahead price in złoty

The euro foreign exchange reference rate published by the European Central Bank on each working day, taken from the latest date available when the site was built. Exchange prices are quoted in euros per megawatt-hour, so the conversion is the price times the rate, divided by a thousand. A different rate on your bill would shift the figures slightly.

Poland still generates much of its power from coal, whose running costs include carbon allowances, and it has less wind and solar capacity relative to demand than Germany. When the lines between the two countries are full, cheap German power on sunny or windy days cannot flow east fast enough. The monthly table shows how large the gap has been.

Dynamic contracts based on the day-ahead price exist in Poland, but most households are on fixed or regulated tariffs, and a dynamic contract also needs a meter that records use per quarter hour or hour. The conditions differ by supplier, so check them in the offer. This page shows the exchange price such a contract would follow.
