Poland's household electricity costs, at €29.99 per 100 kWh in the first half of 2026, reflect the nation's reliance on coal, high taxes, and levies. Ireland leads with the most expensive electricity at €38.71 per 100 kWh. Poland's electricity prices surged by 10.7% from the second half of 2025, ranking second highest in the EU after Finland.",
