Penalties for the 20th degree of power supply – commentary in Rzeczpospolita
9 July 2025 • Autor: Kancelaria Brysiewicz Bokina i Wspólnicy
Exactly 5 years ago, the so-called 20th power level, the highest possible restrictions on electricity consumption, was introduced. As a result of energy consumers’ failure to comply with the introduced restrictions, the ERO President is conducting massive proceedings to impose fines. However, some entrepreneurs can avoid the penalty due to the expiration of the 5-year statute of limitations.
Companies that are in the midst of administrative proceedings to impose a penalty for failing to comply with restrictions introduced in August 2015 should keep a close eye on the statute of limitations. The ERO must issue a decision before the expiration of five years from the date of the violation, taking into account the recent freeze on deadlines due to the pandemic. However, even if a company fails to avoid a penalty due to the statute of limitations, it should not fold its arms. The decision of the ERO president can always be appealed, and the chance of winning is not small at all, especially after recent favorable rulings by the SOKiK
