In the context of global climate change and rising energy prices, investments in renewable energy sources are becoming increasingly important. The government’s Mój Prąd 6.0 program is one of the key initiatives supporting the development of photovoltaics in Poland, and the recent increase in the budget by PLN 850 million, raising the total amount of the program to PLN 1.25 billion, is a significant opportunity for new and existing prosumers.
Change in financing – greater opportunities for prosumers
The new budget comes from the EU program European Funds for Infrastructure, Climate, Environment (FEnIKS) 2021-2027 and allows for more subsidies, including for investments in electrical and thermal energy storage facilities . This is a key step towards modernising the Polish energy market and promoting energy independence among citizens.
From September 2, 2024, as part of the sixth edition of the program, prosumers can apply for support for photovoltaic installations and energy storage. By October 9, applications have already been submitted 49 thousand applications , of which 18.4 thousand concerned energy storage. It is worth emphasizing that energy storage is becoming an increasingly desirable element of PV installations, allowing for effective management of the energy produced.
What subsidies does Mój Prąd 6.0 offer?
There are a few key elements worth noting:
- Electricity storage facilities : Prosumers can receive up to 16 thousand PLN subsidies for storage with a capacity of at least 2 kWh. This significantly increases the availability of these technologies for the average user.
- Heat storage : Funding is offered up to 5 thousand zlotys for warehouses with a minimum capacity of 20 dm3, which may be an attractive option for people using heat pumps.
- Photovoltaics : The subsidy for PV installation is up to 6 thousand zlotys , while for those who also decide to use energy storage facilities, the support can amount to 7 thousand zlotys .
Why are energy storage so important?
Energy storage plays a key role in stabilization renewable energy systems, especially photovoltaics. The net-billing system, which was introduced as a new form of settlement for prosumers. It means that surplus energy produced by PV installations is sold to the grid at variable market prices, which may affect the profitability of the investment. The energy storage allows for storage of surplus energy produced during periods of maximum sunlight and its later use when energy demand is higher – in the evening or during periods of lower availability of sunlight.
Thanks to this, prosumers can benefit from:
- Savings : Instead of sending surplus energy to the grid at low prices, they can use it for their own needs.
- Increased independence : Stored energy allows for independence from energy price fluctuations on the market and reduces dependence on the energy grid.
- Faster return on investment : Investing in an energy storage facility, especially with the help of subsidies, speeds up the payback period for the entire PV system.
What has changed in the Mój Prąd 6.0 program?
One of the most important changes in the current edition of the program is the condition of obtaining a subsidy for PV installations reported after August 1, 2024. In order to be eligible for financing, it is necessary to invest in an electricity or heat storage facility . The power of the installation can range from 2kW to 20kW , and energy storage facilities are becoming an essential element of the installation if prosumers want to maximize the benefits of renewable energy sources.
Future prospects
The increase in the budget of the Mój Prąd 6.0 programme shows that the government is focusing on development sustainable energy and transformation of the Polish energy market. This is a great opportunity for those interested in installing PV and energy storage to take advantage of available subsidies and reduce their investment costs.
Investing in energy storage in the context of the net-billing system and subsidies, it is not only a financial saving, but also a step towards greater energy independence. This is becoming increasingly important in the face of changing market realities. By using subsidies for energy storage, prosumers can maximize profits from your own energy production and better manage your energy consumption.
