July, despite the holidays period, has turned out to be the best month as regards the volume, from the beginning of presence of the POLPX on the electricity market in Poland.
We are happy that the market advantageously responds to opportunities the power exchange offers for it. Higher and higher trading volume means that the consumers reach market prices of electricity. Such fact is in so far substantial as just in November of this year we enable all participants of the power market in Poland to avail themselves of the greatest European exchange – Nord Pool Spot – through the cable connecting Poland and Sweden – Mr. Grzegorz Onichimowski, The Polish Power Exchange Management Board President said.
