Position of the Polish Electricity Association in response to European Commission’s call for evidence for an initiative “Heat pumps – action plan to accelerate roll-out across the EU”
The Polish Electricity Committee (PKEE) welcomes plans to accelerate the deployment of heat pumps across the European Union. Poland is already realising the potential of small heat pumps, with almost 200,000 new units sold in 2022 alone, an increase of 120% compared to 2021[1]. However, individual heat pumps should be considered as the primary source of heat [...].
Six months of protection from high prices
Poles have been benefiting from the Solidarity Shield since autumn, thanks to which net electricity prices for households have not increased.

There are also higher limits - up to 3 000 kWh - but to be able to use [...]
Position of the Polish Electricity Association (PKEE) in response to European Commission’s proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulations (EU) No 1227/2011 and (EU) 2019/942 to improve the Union’s protection against market manipulation in the wholesale energy market

The revision of REMIT provides an opportunity to take a step towards improving the functioning of short-term markets. We believe that the revision of REMIT should be seen as an evolution, not a revolution. It is worth emphasising, [...]
Polish Electricity Association position on Proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulations (EU) 2019/943 and (EU) 2019/942 as well as Directives (EU) 2018/2001 and (EU) 2019/944 to improve the Union’s electricity market design

The current energy market model, based on the merit order mechanism and marginal cost pricing, rewards the most cost-effective solutions, provides reliable indicators of the energy market situation and, in many cases, enables the financing of new investments. It thus provides [...]
