Deregulation in the Energy Sector in Poland in 2025 marks one of the most significant legal reforms in recent years, introducing substantial amendments to five key legislative acts, including the Polish Energy Law, the Polish Construction Law, and the Renewable Energy Sources (RES) Act. The new rules are designed to simplify administrative procedures, reduce bureaucracy, accelerate the growth of renewable energy sources, and improve communication between consumers and energy companies operating in Poland.
The legislation was adopted by the Polish Sejm on 25 July 2025 and is now awaiting the President of Poland’s signature.
From 1 January 2026, energy suppliers in Poland will be required to provide household customers with a clear, plain-language summary attached to each bill.
This summary will present only three figures: the cost for energy, the distribution fee, , and the total amount due. The aim is to make billing more transparent, particularly for elderly customers and those unfamiliar with complex invoices.
Electronic communication (via e-mail or customer portals) will become the default method of contact between consumers and anergy companies in Poland. . Customers wishing to keep paper correspondence can do so by submitting a request. Energy suppliers must clearly inform clients about the change and provide a form to select their preferred method of communication method. .
From 2026, renewable energy installations with a capacity of up to 5 MW will be operate based on a simple registration instead of concession. The deregulation in the energy sector in Poland will introduce a single national register for renewable energy producers, covering both existing small-scale installations and larger units of up to 5 MW. Existing producers will be transferred to the new register automatically.
Under the new rules, photovoltaic installations up to 500 kW in Poland will not require a building permit—provided they meet certain conditions. Panels must serve only the investor’s own needs, be located outside protected areas (such as Natura 2000 sites or landscape parks), and must not feed energy back into the grid. Projects will still require fire safety review, and plans must be submitted to the fire service after installation.
Most provisions of the deregulation in the energy sector in Poland will take effect 14 days after publication. However, the most impactful changes – simplified bills, electronic correspondence, and updated RES licensing rules – will only become effective on 1 January 2026.
The deregulation in the energy sector inPoland is expected to bring tangible benefits to both consumers and companies. Households will gain clarity in billing and more convenient communication, while businesses will benefit from fewer bureaucratic hurdles in renewable energy investments. These changes could accelerate the expansion of corporate photovoltaic systems and local renewable energy projects across Poland.
