Energy efficiency and regulations – what should companies pay attention to?

Energy efficiency: New requirements for Polish companies

In the coming years, Polish companies will have to adapt to the growing requirements in the field of energy efficiency, both due to national regulations and EU regulations. The introduction of new regulations aims to reduce CO2 emissions, improve the energy efficiency of enterprises and support sustainable development. For many companies, especially those that use energy intensively, these changes will be unavoidable, and ignoring them may lead to high financial penalties and an increase in operating costs.

What legal regulations apply to energy efficiency in Poland?

Poland has regulations requiring companies to improve energy efficiency. Here are some of the key regulations that companies need to consider:

Energy Efficiency Act – Enterprises are obliged to conduct energy audits every four years. Audits aim to identify areas where energy consumption can be reduced.
European Union Directive 2012/27/EU - Concerns the improvement of energy efficiency and obliges Member States to introduce appropriate provisions to support energy saving in enterprises.
Regulation on the obligation to implement energy efficiency projects - Companies are obliged to implement activities aimed at improving energy efficiency, and failure to act may result in financial penalties.

What are the sanctions for failure to comply with the regulations?

Companies that do not comply with energy efficiency requirements must face severe financial consequences. Failure to conduct an energy audit or implement actions aimed at improving efficiency may result in:

Fine fines – Companies that do not carry out the required energy audits may be charged with fines reaching hundreds of thousands of zlotys.
Increase in operating costs – Lack of optimization of energy consumption is associated with higher energy bills, which in the long run may lead to significant financial losses.
Image consequences – Companies that do not meet environmental requirements may lose credibility in the eyes of customers and investors, which will negatively affect their competitiveness.
