Polish Supreme Court allows tariff change due to energy cost increases under Art. 155 of the Administrative Procedure Code.

The Polish Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding whether rising energy purchase costs justify changing an approved electricity tariff. The court found that administrative approval of a new, higher tariff by the Energy Regulatory Office provided a valid basis for modifying the previous decision under Article 155 of the Administrative Procedure Code. Consequently, the court ruled that such cost increases constitute a legitimate circumstance for altering the tariff to prevent financial loss for the energy company.
