What goes on in Poland on the 11th of February.
Ministers of the Environment of Poland, Canada and the UK met in Warsaw
Minister of Climate and Environment Anna Moskwa and Undersecretary of State Adam Guibourgé-Czetwertyński met Leslie Scanlon Ambassador of Canada and Anna Clunes Ambassador of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to Poland. The meeting took place on February 9, 2022 at the headquarters of the Ministry of Climate and Environment.
The talks focused on the energy transformation as well as Polish-Canadian and Polish-British bilateral cooperation.
„We strive to achieve the goal of a diversified, low-emission energy mix. At the same time, we want to maintain the security and stability of the energy system. The energy transformation should be conducted in a responsible, rational and effective manner, while taking into account the principle of solidarity,” said Minister Anna Moskwa during the meeting.
UOKiK will investigate the campaign regarding energy price increases
Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) will take a closer look at the information campaign on the causes of energy price increases. The campaign, carried out since the end of January, aims to inform the public about the costs of electricity production in Poland.
There are billboards all over Poland informing that the EU climate policy accounts for 60 percent of the costs of electricity production. The Polish Power Plant Economic Society, which includes PGE, Tauron and Enea, is responsible for the campaign.
The Frank Bold Foundation decided to notify the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection of suspected illegal conduct. The application addressed to UOKiK by the foundation concerned Tauron, which sent e-mails containing the average cost affecting the energy price. In the news, the company announced that 59 percent of the costs are fees related to CO2 emissions.
According to the director of the Foundation, the way this information was provided could mislead customers.
