Who must act now

Mikro, small and medium enterprises must submit documentation. Moreover, farmers who used the capped electricity price from July to December 2024 must act. In addition, the rule covers those billed at the statutory maximum of 693 PLN per MWh. Consequently, many businesses across Poland need to check their records.

Why paperwork matters

The government offered lower electricity prices as part of a protection scheme. However, authorities treated the discounts as state aid. Therefore recipients must document their right to the lower rates. Energy sellers cannot confirm eligibility on their own. Moreover, sellers must follow public aid rules when they account for the discount. Consequently, suppliers may recalculate bills without proper paperwork. As a result, companies may face new, higher charges.

Potential consequences and sums

If you skip the declaration, your seller may treat the lower rate as undocumented. Consequently, providers can issue corrected invoices. Moreover, the provider will apply contractual or market prices instead of the capped price. Therefore businesses may owe thousands of zloty. In addition, larger consumers might face tens of thousands in retroactive charges. The final bill depends on past consumption and your contract terms.

How to submit documents

Submit the statement to the seller you had between July and December 2024. Most energy companies accept online forms. Moreover, many accept email or in-person submissions. However, check the supplier website first. In addition, verify all fields before sending. Small mistakes can cause rejection. For example, a wrong NIP or missing signature can delay acceptance.

The deadline and its history

The law originally set an earlier deadline. However, legislators extended the period to allow corrections. Consequently, June 30, 2026 now serves as the final cut-off. After that, the chance to complete formalities will shrink considerably. Therefore do not delay further.

💡 GOOD TO KNOW: If you are an expat running a business or a farm in Poland, act now to avoid extra charges. Keep your NIP (tax ID), contract, and a signed declaration ready. Moreover, note that Polish public institutions use identifiers like PESEL for people, ZUS for social security (ZUS = social insurance office), and NFZ for health insurance (NFZ = National Health Fund). Therefore check that your documents match the details in those records.
