What exactly is Tauron’s Seller’s Tariff?
It is the default, indefinite-term price list approved by the Energy Regulatory Office. The current G11 rate is 1.1269 PLN net (1.3861 PLN gross) per kWh, plus standard distribution charges. No extras, no commercial fee. [Elektroda, pan_pp, post #20776107]
Is it still the cheapest option below 2,500 kWh a year?
Yes. Below roughly 148 kWh a month the Seller’s Tariff beats Tauron’s eco or serviceman packages because you avoid the 16.67 PLN net monthly trading fee. [Elektroda, pan_pp, post #20777560]
How do I switch from a promotional package to the Seller’s Tariff?
Call the hotline or visit a Customer Service Point and state “chcę taryfę sprzedawcy.” Staff must prepare new documents on request. [Elektroda, MarcinM2020, post #20776264]
Can I choose the Seller’s Tariff online?
No. Tauron’s web and app offers exclude it; online change shows only eco or service bundles. You must phone or go in person. [Elektroda, Belestyzysyf, post #21125933]
Do I sign a new fixed-term contract?
No. The Seller’s Tariff remains in force until you cancel; users report holding it nine years without renewal. [Elektroda, Pan.Kropa, post #20775360]
How can I check which tariff I have now?
Look for a “commercial fee” line on your invoice. If present, you’re on a paid package, not the Seller’s Tariff. [Elektroda, stomat, post #20776255]
What charges disappear when I drop add-on services?
You stop paying the commercial fee (often 9–20 PLN month) and any extra green, eco or insurance surcharges. Energy and distribution rates stay. [Elektroda, MarcinM2020, post #20775090]
Are there penalties for quitting a tacitly-extended package?
Tauron waives early-termination fees if you switch to the Seller’s Tariff using their official form after automatic renewal. [Elektroda, Tomekkoko, post #21176325]
When could a fixed three-year package be cheaper?
If your use exceeds 148 kWh month the EE_GD GR10 Int Eko plan, despite a 16.67 PLN fee, may cost less overall. [Elektroda, pan_pp, post #20777560]
What limits hide in the “Serwisant 24h” service?
Repairs are only covered up to 500 PLN; costlier jobs and parts above that ceiling are billed to you. [tauron.pl] "A complete fraud and a brazen hunt for the gullible." [Elektroda, zbich70, post #21031568]
Will electricity prices rise in the next price list?
Forum experts expect higher retail prices because Polish wholesale rates rank among Europe’s highest, while retail remains capped. [Elektroda, stomat, post #20777184]
Edge case: What if Tauron refuses my request?
Quote Article 5 of the Energy Law: the seller must supply at regulated tariff if the customer demands it. Escalate to the ERO if denied. "Stand your ground." [Elektroda, Armadon, post #20776003]
How do state consumption caps affect my bill?
Energy up to 3,000 kWh (was 2,000 kWh) is billed at shielded rates; above the cap, full Seller’s Tariff applies. [Elektroda, stomat, post #20776309]
