Warsaw has introduced regulated prices, unafraid of Brussels.
The lowest fuel prices in Europe are in Poland. This was stated by Prime Minister Donald Tusk. In a special video address, he emphasized that this is the result of the government's package of measures, which includes a reduction in VAT and excise tax on fuel, as well as the introduction of maximum retail prices.
According to the Prime Minister, thanks to the measures taken, Poland has the lowest fuel prices among European countries.
"The war in the Middle East has led to a sharp rise in fuel prices worldwide, in Europe, and in Poland as well. That is why we introduced a package of measures to reduce fuel prices. I understand that it is still expensive, but we have achieved one effect — fuel prices in Poland are the lowest in Europe. We are doing, not just talking," said the Polish Prime Minister.
The Polish government has introduced regulated fuel prices — the Ministry of Energy publishes announcements daily about the maximum allowable prices at gas stations.
According to the latest statement from the Minister of Energy, a liter of 95-octane gasoline will cost no more than 6.19 zlotys (1.45 euros), 98-octane gasoline — 6.80 zlotys (1.61 euros), and diesel fuel — 7.64 zlotys (1.79 euros).
Last year, oil and gas reserves were discovered in the northwestern region of Poland, which, according to the license holder Central European Petroleum (CEP), are the largest in the country and among the most significant in Europe, reports TVP3.
The field is located on the Baltic coast near the city of Szczecin. The company's estimates suggest that its reserves may amount to 22 million tons of oil and 5 billion cubic meters of market-quality gas. Overall, oil resources are estimated at 33 billion tons, and gas at 27 billion cubic meters.
The Wolin East 1 well, with a depth of 9.5 km, was drilled in winter. CEP is registered in Canada, with major owners being investors from Norway.
At the same time, a large part of Poland's oil reserves is traditionally concentrated in the western regions of the country. In the fall of 2024, a new oil field with recoverable reserves of about 100,000 tons was identified near the settlement of Świebodzin.
