Poland plans widespread electricity cuts in multiple regions July 27‑31
Polish electricity distributors have scheduled temporary power cuts across several regions from 27 July to 31 July 2026. In the Kłodzko area of the Lower Silesian voivodeship, outages will affect dozens of streets and farm plots, with some interruptions lasting up to ten hours. The PGE Dystrybucja operator announced that the entire Podkarpackie voivodeship will see staged outages beginning 27 July, ranging from under an hour to several hours, as part of a large‑scale grid modernisation programme. In Wielkopolska, planned shutdowns run from 27 July through 3 August, covering gminas such as Zaniemyśl, Środa Wielkopolska, and Miłosław, with specific time windows for each locality. The Łódź region (Rejon Energetyczny Bełchatów) will also experience cuts between 27 July and 31 July, affecting towns including Kaszewice‑Kolonia, Bełchatów, and surrounding villages. All operators advise residents to prepare by securing essential appliances, stocking water and food, and following local notices for exact street‑level schedules.
