The Polish Electricity Association’s position on the proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on establishing a framework for ensuring a secure and sustainable supply of critical raw materials and amending Regulations (EU) 168/2013, (EU) 2018/858, 2018/1724 and (EU) 2019/1020
PKEE welcomes the draft proposal to reduce dependence and diversify imports of strategic raw materials. We believe that the proposal reinforces the autonomy of the supply of critical raw materials within the EU for net zero emission technologies. If properly implemented, this regulation could lead to increased production within the EU, thereby reducing production in other [...]

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 [...].
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 Polish Electricity Committee (PKEE) welcomes the legislative initiative to increase transparency in the wholesale energy market and to develop new safeguards against market manipulation (REMIT). 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 source of the current energy crisis is primarily a crisis in the energy fuel markets, not an inadequate energy market architecture. 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 [...]

Position of the Polish Electricity Association (PKEE) regarding the REPowerEU chapters in recovery and resilience plans
The exceptional situation in the energy markets caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine requires Europe to revise its energy transition plans. We need to be better prepared to meet the new challenges while building energy security for the European Union as a whole and its individual regions. The current situation shows that there is no turning back from the path towards climate neutrality. However, we must not forget the various [...]
