Heating Bonus and Electricity Price Freeze for Households

This law introduces a new one-time cash benefit – the heating bonus – for households using district heating, provided their income does not exceed certain thresholds. The bonus amount depends on the heat price and the period, with payments in two rounds: for the second half of 2025 and for the entire year 2026. Additionally, the freeze on electricity prices for households is extended until the end of 2025, protecting citizens from rising bills.
Key points
Heating bonus: one-time payment from 500 to 3500 PLN for district-heated households, depending on heat price and period (2025 or 2026).
Income threshold: single-person household income must not exceed 3272.69 PLN/month; multi-person household – 2454.52 PLN per person.
Applications for the 2025 bonus must be submitted from November 3 to December 15, 2025; for 2026 – from July 1 to August 31, 2026.
Electricity price freeze: maximum price for households is 500 PLN/MWh from October 1 to December 31, 2025.
The heating bonus is tax-exempt and not counted as income for social assistance purposes.
