You'll pay a lot more for the heat!

In a fewer months, we will face clear increases in heat bills – the heating manufacture warns that growth can scope up to a fewer twelve percent. Increases are likely to happen in more than half of the heating systems after 1 July.

According to a survey conducted in a example of 546 heating systems, after 1 July – erstwhile the law limiting price increases is no longer in force – as much as 56% of the systems can rise the charges for the recipients – said the Polish Chamber of economical Heat (IGCP). The home indicates that these increases are not simply the consequence of a one-off event but a symptom of a much deeper problem. Urgent transformation of the sector – both technological and infrastructure – is needed.

This transformation requires immense financial resources – by 2050 it is estimated that a minimum of PLN 300 billion will be needed. Problem is, heat companies have limited access to inexpensive financing. There are no public forms of support for the sector. It is not only about ubiquitous grants today, but besides about taxation preferences or inexpensive loans.

In addition, in 2013-2023, the state budget earned about PLN 100 billion from the sale of CO2 allowances under the EU ETS. This is simply a taxation that has been paid by power plants and dense manufacture to support investments that reduce energy losses in heating and energy. However, most of these measures did not receive support from the sector, even though this was what they were meant to serve. president of the IGCP, Jacek Szymczak, notes explicitly that the ETS has become mainly a fiscal tool, alternatively of driving low-carbon investments. In another words, the EU green ideology has become the key to the pocket drain of Polish families.

“Systems that neglect to meet EU performance criteria will be cut off from EU and national support. The costs of modernization will then fall straight on the residents. Without fast decisions, we will all pay – with higher bills, a decline in service quality and an infrastructure crisis. This is not a distant position – it is simply a script that may come actual in the coming years", warns the House.

The issue is serious due to the fact that the Polish thermal sector is liable for heating 15 million citizens in our country and besides provides heat to schools, hospitals or offices.
