Summary/Abstract: This article discusses new Polish provisions on consumer rights from the perspective of energy enterprises involved in the sale or distribution of electricity. The analysis includes such issues as: the scope of the application of the Act on Consumer Rights; information duties; specific rules on concluding contracts by phone; and consumers’ right to withdrawal. Particular attention is paid to those provisions of the Act on Consumer Rights which cause particular doubts in the context of the relationship between energy law and consumer law or due to the conditions prevailing in the Polish electricity market.
