Household energy consumption in Poland rose in 2024, according to new data from Statistics Poland. Electricity use in homes increased by 2.1% year-on-year to 30.4 TWh, while consumption of gas from the network rose by 0.9% to 54.6 TWh. At the same time, sales of heat energy to residential buildings fell by 2.7%. Electricity consumption per household reached 1,832 kWh, up 0.7% from 2023. Urban households used an average of 1,612 kWh compared with 2,269 kWh in rural areas. Per capita use stood at 809 kWh, with rural residents consuming more than their urban counterparts. The number of electricity consumers rose 1.4% to nearly 16.6 million. The country’s heat supply network grew modestly to almost 25,910 km, with more than 96% located in urban areas. Regional density was highest in Śląskie, followed by Małopolskie and Pomorskie. Total heat energy sales reached 180.5 petajoules, of which 78.5% was delivered to residential buildings. Solid fuels remained the main source of heat production, though gaseous fuels also played a significant role. The gas supply network expanded by 1.3% to 176,600 km, with connections to buildings rising 2.3% to 3.56 million. Rural areas accounted for 59% of the network length. Household gas consumption increased to an average of 6,162 kWh per consumer, though the number of gas customers declined slightly overall by 0.5%. Rural households used an average of 10,364 kWh compared with 5,254 kWh in urban areas. The findings highlight shifting patterns in Poland’s municipal energy infrastructure. While demand for electricity and gas grew, heat energy sales contracted, reflecting changing consumption behaviour and the ongoing modernization of energy networks.
