Poland rolls out clearer electricity bills and backs prosumer protections

The Polish government’s new UDER92 legislation will require electricity suppliers to place four key cost items—total amount due, energy charge, distribution charge and contract period—prominently on the first page of each bill. The law also sets a 21‑day limit for installing meters after a contract is signed and makes electronic communication the default channel from 30 June 2027, while preserving the right to paper correspondence on request. In parallel, the Ministry of Energy has responded to criticism of a draft network regulation that would have allowed operators to monitor and remotely manage micro‑installations. Deputy Minister Konrad Wojnarowski stressed, “We will not do anything that would threaten the prosumer,” confirming that the final rules will not grant extraordinary control over rooftop solar or other small‑scale generators. The ministry says the revised regulation will support the growth of distributed generation and community energy projects without compromising consumer rights.
