Background information

The aim of the program is to increase the production of electricity from micro photovoltaic installations in Poland in order to further reduce CO2 emissions in the atmosphere.

The fifth call for proposals for the My Current Priority Programme was launched on 22 April 2023. The programme is aimed at prosumers (consumers who also produce energy) who have a connected photovoltaic micro-installation with a capacity of 2 kW to 10 kW and contribute to the electricity produced in the net - billing system (electricity trading system). In this system the prosumer gives the surplus energy produced by the photovoltaic installation to the grid at a price determined by Polish Energetic Grid JSC (PSE). The grid buys the energy when the installation does not cover the demand at the rate of their seller or they present documents confirming that they are in the process of changing their billing system.

Content of measure

The My Current Programme is aimed at individuals who generate electricity for their own needs and who have an agreement with the Distribution Network Operator. This agreement relates to the introduction of electricity generated from the micro-installation into the grid.

The programme is financed with funds from the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS). Its budget equals to PLN 955 million (€212.69 million). It provides the financial subsidies (up to 50% of eligible costs) up to PLN 6,000 (approx. €1,336) for a photovoltaic micro-installation.

Applicants accounting for the electricity produced in the net-billing system, who have not yet benefited from a grant for a photovoltaic micro-installation, and applicants accounting for the electricity produced in the net-metering system, who have not benefited from the grant for the photovoltaic micro-installation, provided that they switch to the net-billing system for the electricity produced, are eligible to obtain up to PLN 7,000 for a photovoltaic micro-installation with an additional device. Applicants who settled the electricity produced in the net-metering system and who have already benefited from funding for the photovoltaic micro-installation are eligible for up to PLN 3,000 (€668) for the photovoltaic micro-installation with an additional device.
