At a glance
- Tauron Dystrybucja will switch all of its solar prosumers to monthly billing based on actual remote meter readings from September 1, 2026.
- The company serves about one-third of Polandโs prosumers, who previously received bills based on projected consumption.
- Bills may be higher in winter and lower in summer, reflecting actual consumption and seasonal photovoltaic production.
Polish households with rooftop solar connected to Tauron Dystrybucja will receive a different kind of energy bill from September 1, 2026. The company will stop relying on forecasts and calculate monthly charges from actual remote meter readings.
The change will apply automatically, so customers do not need to submit an application. Tauron Dystrybucja serves about one-third of Polandโs prosumers. Until now, those customers received invoices prepared from projected figures.
The new bills may look noticeably different from earlier statements. Winter payments could rise, while summer charges could fall, because the calculations will reflect both actual energy use and seasonal changes in electricity generated by photovoltaic installations. Customers will also receive a separate settlement invoice for energy used through August 31, 2026. It may arrive around the same time as the first bill under the new system.
Tauron says monthly billing will make costs easier to follow and help customers respond more quickly to changes in consumption. The company encourages users to check the eLicznik application, which displays current meter data and allows consumption comparisons between months.
Prosumer customers connected to the network since the start of 2026 already use monthly billing. The system is due to gradually cover all Tauron Dystrybucja customers.
