Steps

  1. Setting up Utilities in Poland — It is recommended to contact individual providers (for electricity, gas, water, sewage, internet) directly to inquire about setup processes and costs. Poland's Center for Public Information (CIKP) may also provide general information on utility providers and rates, but specifics are subject to change and vary greatly by region.
