Polish prime minister says households will have to pay more

Mateusz Morawiecki, the prime minister, admitted that Polish households will be affected by rising costs of energy, but said part of these costs will be covered by energy companies.

A large part of the increase has already been covered by the Polish state, for example through the law on coal subsidies, according to Morawiecki after a cabinet meeting on Tuesday.

The prime minister said energy companies must cover a part of the raise by reducing their demands for higher tariffs.

He said they can't be left untouched during this crisis.

The government has decided to give one-off subsidies of PLN 3,000 EUR 637 for households that use coal as the main source of heating.
