Poland freezes household electricity prices until year-end


WARSAW, June 24 (Xinhua) -- Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced on Tuesday that electricity prices for individual consumers will remain frozen until the end of the year.

The measure, which caps electricity prices at 500 zloty (136.38 U.S. dollars) per megawatt-hour (MWh), was initially set to expire in September. The extension is part of the government's broader effort to shield consumers from inflation and high energy costs amid ongoing global market volatility.
