With current tariffs limiting prices for households set to expire at the end of 2022, the prime minister said a decision would be made in the coming days.
"We want to freeze gas for all households at a level similar to that of this year," Morawiecki told a news conference. "We will probably decide to have income criteria."
On Tuesday, the European Union executive proposed a gas price cap for the bloc at 275 euros ($282) per megawatt hour for month-ahead derivatives on the Dutch exchange that serve as the region's benchmark.
The EU proposal was at "a very high level", Morawiecki said in response to a question.
"The trick is to keep it at a decent level in today's crisis circumstances," he added, referring to the cap.
