By decision of Energy Minister Miłosz Motyka, the transitional fee — a long-standing component of electricity bills in Poland — will be abolished as of 1 January 2026. The Ministry of Energy published an official notice today confirming the expiration of the fee.
Government Statement
“We want energy to be more accessible and its costs more predictable. That is why we have decided to abolish the transitional fee — a component that is no longer necessary for energy security or the functioning of the system. As a result, electricity bills will be lower,”
— said Energy Minister Miłosz Motyka.
The move is part of the Ministry’s broader strategy aimed at reducing energy costs and introducing savings for both households and businesses.
What Is the Transitional Fee?
The transitional fee has been applied as part of distribution charges and was designed to compensate electricity producers for costs arising from the early termination of Long-Term Power Purchase Agreements (KDTs). Until now, it applied to all electricity consumers, including households, small businesses and large industrial users.
Its legal basis was the Act on the Rules for Covering Costs Incurred by Electricity Producers Due to the Early Termination of Long-Term Power and Electricity Sales Agreements, dated 29 June 2007.
