For the period from January 1, 2023, there is no longer an obligation to complete and submit “Form O” – as reported on the website of the Energy Regulatory Office, this obligation has been revoked. Note, however, that this obligation has been partially replaced by a similar obligation, “Form K”.
Through this new obligation, the President of the Energy Regulatory Office calls on selected producers and trading companies to periodically submit aggregate information on the sale of electricity by these companies. Please check this document or this page to see if you are on the list of companies required to report “Form K”.
The completed “Form K” shall be sent by the 5th calendar day after the end of the reporting month (first reporting deadline: 5 February 2023) in electronic form in Excel format to the e-mail address: kontakt@ure.gov.pl and an electronically signed document in PDF format.
If it is not possible to send an electronically signed document in PDF format, the document should be delivered in paper version to the following address: Urząd Regulacji Energetyki, Departament Monitorowania Rynku, Al. Jerozolimskie 181, 02-222 Warszawa.
Detailed instructions on how to fill in the “Form K” can be found here and via the link, available only in Polish. Our team is working on the English translation of the questionnaire and instruction note.

Please be informed about the available channels to notify the European Commission for gas purchase contracts > 5 TWh/year, as perArticle 3 of the Council Regulation (EU) 2022/2576:
A. By encrypted email or normal email with encrypted attachment to a functional mailbox
The functional mailbox ENER-PLATFORM-TRANSPARENCY@ec.europa.eu (here after, FMB) is already operational and ready for undertakings to notify on the required information in Article 3 of the Council Regulation (EU) 2022/2576.
Here below two ways to send an encrypted information via email to the Commission:
– S/MIME encryption
Through S/MIME (SECEM-2), gas undertakings and Member States authorities can send an encrypted email to the FMB without the need to encrypt the attachment. Some Member States authorities are already using this tool.
Further information can be found in the SECEM-2 interoperability guide (see second attachment to the email). Undertakings can receive the guide once they contact us for the first time.
– Standard email with password-encrypted attachment via 7zip
There is also the possibility to send a standard email, but then the sender should encrypt the attachment via 7zip, which is free and available for both externals and for the Commission.
This encryption will require a password for the receiver (the Commission) created by the sender to be able to read the attachment. This one-time password should be communicated to the European Commission in a separate channel, to enhance security. For security reasons, undertakings must send an email to the FMB informing on the need to use 7zip attachment, and the Commission will then provide further information.
B. By uploading a document in S-CIRCABC
Another possibility is the use of S-CIRCABC. It is a sharing space that is protected (encrypted) and available for externals.
The operationality is the same as for CIRCABC, except that users have to connect using 2FA (two factor authentication: e.g. EU Login password + EU Login app on mobile/SMS code).
Undertakings would need to inform on the need to use this platform via FMB, and then the Commission would provide further information on how to upload a document on this protected space.
C. By letter/USB delivered in person
Envelopes with a letter or an USB inside can be delivered in person at DG ENER premises (Rue de Mot 24, 1049 Brussels). It is recommended to deliver these letters to us using double wrapping. It should clearly indicate that we are the addressees (EU ENERGY PLATFORM TASKFORCE 1 or similar).
Undertakings would need to inform beforehand via email to the FMB on the exact date of delivery and identity of the colleague who would deliver this letter.
A new reporting obligation on gas purchase contracts is set by Article 3 of Council Regulation 2022/2576 – enhancing solidarity through better coordination of gas purchases, reliable price benchmarks and exchanges of gas across borders, published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 29 December 2022.
Gas undertakings established in the EU are required to inform both the European Commission (and where applicable the Member State):
(1) of “large planned gas purchases above 5 TWh/year”;
(2) with specific regard to “new or renewed contracts”;
(3) to be executed with third countries’ counterparties.
The EU joint gas purchasing mechanism is important to improve security of energy supply in the Member States of the European Union. Additionally, participation to the EU mechanism is also open to all natural gas undertakings in the Energy Community that comply with criteria as laid down in Council Regulation (EU) 2022/2576.
On 25 January 2023, the Energy Community Secretariat will convene a coordination meeting on joint gas purchasing, gathering high level representatives of the European Commission, the Contracting Parties, gas companies and industrial consumers. The meeting will serve to identify potential gas demand for joint procurement via the EU Energy Platform in Energy Community Contracting Parties. Companies from the Energy Community interested in participation in the coordination meeting on 25 January 2023 can find out more information here.
The CorreggioNET team will monitor the implementation of the EU Joint Gas Purchasing Platform in the EU and Energy Community and will provide updates on reporting obligations and participation conditions.
We would like to inform you about changes in questionnaires and reporting dates in 2023.
First of all, the Polish Central Statistical Office (Główny Urząd Statystyczny) and the Polish Energy Market Agency (Agencja Rynku Energii) published the updated statistical forms and dates for 2023. Reporting deadlines and forms have been updated in our system and here is a brief summary.
- Form G-02g (report on the infrastructure, consumers and natural gas sales) – information for 2022 should be submitted by 28 April 2023.

Furthermore, the Polish Energy Regulatory Office (Urząd Regulacji Energetyki) has already published the license fee calculation form for 2022. This is due by 15 April 2023.
On this occasion, we also draw your attention to the Decree of the Minister of Climate and the Environment of December 21, 2022 on determining the amount of high-methane natural gas introduced into the transmission network in 2022 and in 2023. In accordance with it, the size of the obligation to sell natural gas on the exchange has been reduced. In 2023, the energy companies which trade in natural gas are obliged to sell no less that 30% of natural gas fed into the gas transmission network on the commodity exchange.
