President Karol Nawrocki has signed the legislative initiative "Tani prąd -33%" (Cheap Electricity -33%).

- I have launched a legislative initiative that is essentially based on 4 strategic points [...]. I am proposing not just a shield, but this time, as the President of Poland, I am proposing a real sword to cut these burdens from the bills, Polish bills, bills of Poles for electricity – burdens that Poles should not bear, and today, as we know, Poles are paying double for the energy transformation - the president said in his address.

- This strategy is based on 4 pillars, primarily on the elimination of additional fees, thus the elimination of the RES fee, the capacity fee, the cogeneration fee, and the transition fee. These fees simply need to be cut from electricity bills - he continued.

- The second pillar is limiting the costs of certificates, the third: reducing distribution fees, and the fourth: changing the rules for balancing the system so that its costs are covered only by entities causing its imbalance - he went on to say.

- We must also return to the 5% VAT rate for electricity. This was successful during the anti-inflation shield, and this is the direction my legislative proposal outlines. The effect of all these changes will be that Polish families will be able to save over PLN 800 annually on household electricity bills - he added.

- The Polish state budget will not lose out from this, as funds from the ETS will simply be redirected. For those who adhere to the primacy of European solutions, which I am certainly not, I remind them that this move is consistent with the European Union's climate policy. As of 2024, 100% of funds from the ETS should serve to finance the transformation - he emphasized.
