70% of Poles are already trembling with fear. In the winter, they will gotta pay a fortune, this has never happened before

Rising heating costs are becoming 1 of the most serious concerns of Polish households. According to a poll conducted by IBRiS on behalf of "Fakt", as many as 70% of Poles are afraid of heat price increases. These fears are full justified: since 1 July 2025, erstwhile the price frost was lifted, fees for territory heat (supplied by heating plants) have increased by 20-30%. The prices of natural materials utilized for individual heating, specified as coal or pellets, are besides going up. The government is trying to alleviate the situation by introducing a territory Heating Voucher, which is to aid about half a million households utilizing territory heating and gathering the income criterion. Unfortunately, this form of support does not cover people who heat individually, which means that the problem of costly heat affects a wide scope of citizens.
