Poland’s energy landscape shifted this week as the country’s largest retail gas supplier, myOrlen, formerly PGNiG Obrót Detaliczny, will witness gas prices fall by 3.4 percent starting February 25th, 2026. The price will be 197.29 złoty per MWh, according to a decision by the President of the Energy Regulatory Office (URE), announced Tuesday.
The price reduction applies to households and certain public utility entities eligible for regulated gas prices under Polish law. URE President Renata Mroczek stated the decision followed a call for myOrlen to submit a revised tariff, prompted by a sustained decline in gas prices on the Polish Power Exchange since the first half of 2025. “The Office for Regulation of Energy Markets continuously monitors price levels in the market and takes necessary and adequate action,” Mroczek said in a press release. “Taking into account the systematic fall in gas prices after the approval of the PGNiG OD tariff, I called on myOrlen to submit a proposal to change this tariff. This has resulted in the approved price reduction.”
The tariff will remain in effect until June 30th, 2026. Importantly, subscription fees will remain unchanged, according to URE.
The move comes after a broader rebranding effort. On January 26th, 2026, PGNiG officially transitioned to the Orlen brand, with PGNiG Obrót Detaliczny becoming myOrlen. The change is part of a wider strategy by the state-owned Orlen to integrate its energy services and develop the ORLEN VITAY platform into a “super app,” offering a range of benefits and promotions to customers, according to a company statement. Existing contracts, bank account details, and customer service locations will remain the same.
National gas consumption rose sharply in January, reaching 2.88 billion cubic meters, a more than 27 percent increase compared to the 2.26 billion cubic meters consumed in January 2025, according to Orlen data. This increase occurred during a period of record high energy bills for Polish consumers, driven by unusually cold weather and increased demand.
The rebranding and integration of PGNiG into Orlen follows a strategy initiated under the previous government to build a multi-energy company. Orlen has acquired control of Energia, Lotos, and PGNiG over the past three years, with PGNiG delisted from the Warsaw Stock Exchange three years ago.
