In Poland, the cost of the EU ETS accounts for half of industrial energy prices.

The 50% figure is presented in the sources as a maximum ('może sięgać nawet 50 proc.' / 'up to 50%'), not as a typical or average value — the MEP turned an upper bound into a general statement.
The figure refers specifically to electricity sold to industry; it is not a share of industrial energy prices across all carriers (gas, heat, fuels), where the ETS-related share is different.
No primary official statistic (Eurostat, European Commission, KOBiZE, Polish statistics office) publishes a 'share of ETS cost in industrial energy prices' indicator; the claim rests on secondary/industry estimates whose publication dates could not be established in this check.
The share depends heavily on the EUA price and wholesale power prices in a given period, so it fluctuates substantially over time.
