The amended Energy Law Act entered into force on 11 September 2015 and implements the REMIT Regulation into the Polish legal system.

The analysis includes issues such as: the purpose of introducing penal provisions, the catalogue of criminal sanctions (and their nature) as well as procedural standards (the investigation). This analysis was conducted in accordance with generally applicable laws, taking into account the views of jurisprudence and criminal law doctrine.
