Legal Instruments for Electricity Prices
The article sets the objectives of describing and systematising measures to influence the price of electricity in Poland after 2018. The article’s first part presents the reasons for the enactment of the law freezing electricity prices for 2019 which is followed by the discussion of its content, shortcomings and case law arising from the law’s execution. What is later presented focuses around the European response to the global energy crisis (2021–2023) as well as the Polish legislation mitigating the electricity prices. The last section outlines a typology of instruments mitigating the price of electricity from the most market-interfering to the most benign.
