About this Dataset

Poland's non-household electricity price stood at 0.2 EUR per kWh (incl. taxes) in 2025, down 6.5% from the year before. That decline follows two years of much sharper moves: the price jumped 29.9% in 2022 and a further 49.1% in 2023 as the European energy crisis pushed through to end-user tariffs, before easing 1.6% in 2024 and 6.5% in 2025. The 2023 peak of 0.3 EUR per kWh was the highest reading in the eighteen-year series; the lowest, 0.1 EUR per kWh, came in 2016, near the bottom of a decade of flat pre-crisis pricing.

Eurostat's "non-household" category is not the same as heavy industry: it blends manufacturing, services and public-sector consumers into consumption bands, and the price an individual business pays depends heavily on which band it falls into. A small workshop and a steel plant can face materially different rates even though both are captured in this same series.

The series is drawn from Eurostat's harmonised energy price statistics. Key methodology points for analysts working with this data:

  • Unit: EUR per kWh, including all applicable taxes, levies and VAT
  • Definition: electricity price paid by non-household consumers — businesses, public bodies and other organisations, as distinct from residential households
  • Coverage: Poland, annual observations from 2008 to 2025
  • Series code: Eurostat NRG_PC_205
  • Publisher: Eurostat, updated on a semi-annual reporting cycle
  • Comparability: harmonised methodology intended for cross-country comparison, though national tax and levy structures still affect the absolute level

The 2022–2023 spike and subsequent retreat are the dominant feature of the series. Non-household tariffs in Poland roughly tracked the wholesale gas and power shock that hit the whole EU following the disruption to Russian pipeline supply, then gave back some of that increase as wholesale prices normalised and government relief measures phased through to contracted rates. The two consecutive annual declines in 2024 and 2025 suggest the pass-through from lower wholesale prices to end-user contracts is still working through the system rather than complete.

For an analyst modelling operating costs in Poland, the practical takeaway is that the current 0.2 EUR per kWh reading sits well above the pre-crisis norm (the series held near 0.1 EUR per kWh for most of 2008 through 2019) even after two years of declines. Energy-intensive manufacturers with Polish operations are pricing from a materially higher cost base than they were before 2021, and the pace of further normalisation is not yet established from two data points alone. Comparing Poland's trajectory against neighbouring markets is the more useful next step, since exposure to the same wholesale shock played out differently across national tax and subsidy regimes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Poland's non-household electricity price was 0.2 EUR per kWh, including all taxes and levies, in 2025. That figure was 6.5% lower than in 2024, the second consecutive annual decline after prices peaked at 0.3 EUR per kWh in 2023. The reading is published by Eurostat under series NRG_PC_205 and covers electricity sold to businesses, public bodies and other non-household consumers rather than households.

Eurostat's non-household category covers electricity sold to any consumer that is not a private household — manufacturers, retailers, offices, schools and other organisations. It is a broader group than "industrial" alone and is split internally into consumption bands, since a small business and a large energy-intensive plant pay very different rates for the same nominal price series. The Poland figure on this page is the all-band price including taxes, levies and VAT, harmonised by Eurostat for cross-country comparison.

Eurostat publishes this series on a semi-annual reporting cycle, and the most recent annual observation on this page covers 2025. The full series runs from 2008 to 2025, eighteen years of annual data. Because Eurostat compiles national submissions before publication, there is typically a lag of several months between the end of a reference period and the data becoming available, so the latest figure reflects conditions from earlier in the year rather than real time.

Businesses operating in Poland paid an average of 0.2 EUR per kWh for electricity, including taxes, in 2025. That average sits well above the roughly 0.1 EUR per kWh that held through most of 2008 to 2019, reflecting the pass-through of the 2022 to 2023 European energy crisis. Rates vary by consumption volume and contract type, so an individual company's actual tariff can differ meaningfully from this all-band national average.

The series shows a 29.9% increase in 2022 followed by a 49.1% increase in 2023, taking the price to its eighteen-year high of 0.3 EUR per kWh. That two-year spike coincided with the European wholesale gas and power price shock that followed the disruption to Russian pipeline supply, which fed through into contracted electricity tariffs across the EU. Prices have since declined for two straight years, falling 1.6% in 2024 and 6.5% in 2025.

This page tracks Poland in isolation; comparing its 0.2 EUR per kWh 2025 reading against Germany, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary and Lithuania requires looking at each country's own series, since national tax structures, energy mix and subsidy regimes all affect the absolute level even under Eurostat's harmonised methodology. A cross-country view of the same non-household price measure is available for the wider European industrial electricity price series.

No. Eurostat publishes non-household and household electricity prices as separate series with different tax treatments, contract structures and consumption patterns, and Poland's two series do not move identically over time. This page covers only non-household consumers (businesses, public bodies and other organisations) rather than residential customers, so it should not be used as a proxy for what Polish households pay, or vice versa. A dedicated series tracking Poland's household electricity price is published separately by Eurostat and covered on this site.
