  • Poland’s government has proposed tariff rules that could save energy-intensive industries 500 million zlotys annually.
  • The Energy Ministry accepted some demands from industry and other ministries.
  • Critics within the report warn that the aid may have limited impact on companies facing high energy costs.

Poland’s government has taken what Rzeczpospolita describes as a first step toward easing the pressure on energy-intensive industry, which continues to struggle with high energy prices.

A new tariff regulation is expected to allow the sector to save 500 million zlotys a year. The Energy Ministry gave ground on some of the industry’s demands, as well as requests from other ministries.

But the relief may prove too limited to make a major difference for companies. Despite the expanded access to assistance, the report says the measures could do little to resolve the sector’s broader cost problem.
