Orlen Reduces Prices for 7 Million Households. Changes Will Take Effect This Month
Orlen has announced a reduction in gas prices for consumers and businesses, set to take effect on February 25, following an approval by URE.
Orlen has announced a new reduction in gas prices that will affect approximately 7 million households and businesses in Poland. The new pricing, which had been approved by the President of the Energy Regulatory Office (URE) on February 10, will see consumers pay an average of 3.4% less for gas. This is the third price reduction from Orlen in the last twelve months, indicating a continuous effort to provide more affordable energy options to its customers.
The new gas tariffs will be effective starting February 25, with specific pricing adjustments outlined for different tariff groups within the company. For example, net gas prices, excluding excise tax, will drop from 20.426 gr/kWh to 19.729 gr/kWh in certain tariff groups, while others will see a decrease from 20.386 gr/kWh to 19.691 gr/kWh. This shift marks a significant turn towards lowering operational costs for consumers amid rising energy prices in Europe, and it reflects Orlen's strategy to remain competitive in the energy market.
This pricing adjustment follows previous reductions in June 2025 and December of the previous year, which collectively represented considerable savings for consumers. The June adjustment provided about 14.8% savings, while the December decrease led to an average bill reduction of 1.7%. These ongoing reductions are part of Orlen's commitment to ensuring that energy remains accessible to a wide segment of the population, potentially impacting the overall market landscape in Poland.
