Energy and fuel prices in Poland: month by month
Every series has a source for every data point. Below the charts we work out what heating the same house for a year would have cost with each of five heat sources at each month's prices.

The cost of heating a house over time
The same house and the same equipment, only the prices change. Example: a 120 m² house, insulated, with hot water for 4 people, so about 15,600 kWh of heat a year.

- Each point is the yearly cost if that month's prices applied all year. The formulas and efficiencies are the same as in the calculator.
- By default we use the prices households actually paid: during the freeze, the electricity price within the usage limit and the capped gas price. The switch shows the cost at URE tariff prices. Pellets and eco-pea coal have readings in only some months: before 2025 they are mostly single points.
Price dynamics: which rose the most
Prices in different units on one scale: April 2019 = 100. A value of 150 means the price is half as high again as in the base month.

The index uses the prices households paid, like the heating cost chart. It only shows the pace of change: which energy is cheaper for your house also depends on the efficiency of the equipment.
Where the data comes from
Electricity and gas prices are tariffs approved by URE, the Polish energy regulator, with usage-based distribution charges, VAT included. Each month gets the price in force for most of its days.
Pellet and coal prices are quotes from the listed sources. Every series describes what the price includes and where the source changed.
We do not fill gaps or smooth the data. A month without a quote stays empty and the line on the chart breaks.
