Expensive electricity and company

Are we facing a wave of bankruptcies due to huge increases in electricity prices for companies? Which companies are most at risk?

Market experts estimate that wholesale electricity prices, i.e. directly to companies, will already increase by 70 per cent (year-on-year) at the beginning of next year. The effects of such drastic increases will affect not only large companies supplying or consuming large amounts of electricity, but also all companies that have signed long-term contracts for the supply of products and services with a price guarantee.

Specjaliści PMR Restrukturyzacje SA przewidują, że drastyczne podwyżki energii elektrycznej w hurcie, na uwolnionym rynku cen energii dla firm, w połączeniu z rosnącymi kosztami zatrudnienia, znacząco wpłyną na liczbę bankructw w 2019 roku.

Electricity prices are rising steadily, but in July this year on the Polish Power Exchange they rose by as much as 60 per cent compared to the previous year and, despite the intervention of the President of the Energy Regulatory Office, they have remained at this level. Just six months ago, a megawatt hour cost PLN 170, in June it was already PLN 233 and now PLN 280.
