WARSAW, Sept. 6 (Xinhua) -- Residents in Poland are worried over drastically rising energy prices ahead of the winter as the country is facing an energy crisis.
Wholesale energy prices remain under pressure from high gas and coal prices. Electricity prices offered by the state-owned company PGNiG are to increase by over 300 percent in the fall compared to January last year.
High energy prices have a direct impact on the public, particularly on business owners amid the inflation, which hovers at the highest level since March 1997.
As part of energy transformation, Poland is to build wind farms in the Baltic Sea with a capacity of 9 to 11 gigawatts.
