Summary/Abstract: The subject of the study presents the procedure of changing the electricity seller in Poland. Since 2007, permanent increases in the number of changes of electricity sellers have been observed. The abovementioned is both an opportunity and a threat for consumers. Therefore, this study will describe the practices of electricity sellers, which breach collective interests of consumers. The second part of the study presents solutions contained in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the context of the conclusion and performance of the contract for the sale of electricity. The way in which EU regulation can contribute to the increase of the security level of energy recipients will be covered next. In summary, it will be indicated what issue is posing the greatest threat in the case of a change of the electricity seller, as well as what action might be taken in order to limit it.
