The new regulation is upcoming in Polish RES sector in 2021 and
it is expected that the amendment will come into force this
year… soon. The change will affect a significant part of the
existing renewable energy market.
The first key information is that the existing support system
(based on auctions) will be extended until 31 December 2027 (if
accepted by the European Commission). According to the current
legal regulations the RES auctions may be organized by 30 June
2021.
The second interesting point is the new wording of the
definition of „small installation” (,,mała
instalacja''). The maximum installed capacity of
the small installation will be increased from current capacity not
exceeding 0,5 MW up to capacity not exceeding 1 MW. So the small
installation will be the one with installed capacity over 50 kW and
up to 1 MW (instead of the one with installed capacity over 50 kW
and lower than 500 kW).
