Prosument Lokatorski – funding for housing communities and cooperatives and TBSs

ABOUT THE “PROSUMER TENANT” PROGRAM

The Ministry of Development and Technology has announced the introduction of a program to encourage Poles to use renewable energy. The program, called “Prosument Lokatorski,” is aimed at housing communities and cooperatives and TBS. It offers subsidies for the installation of photovoltaic panels in multi-apartment buildings.

Thanks to this program, these entities will be able to recover 100% of the energy transferred to the energy system and receive a 50% subsid y for the installation of photovoltaic panels.

RULES

The managing entity of a multi-tenant building (e.g., a residential community) will be able to invest in a larger installation of renewable energy than is needed for the common part of the building. Only the portion of energy that will be used in the common part of the building will be covered by self-consumption. All the excess energy that will be fed back into the grid will be billed monthly to the energy seller at wholesale prices. The amount will be credited to the owner’s account. This will reduce the cost of maintaining the building, and the savings can be used for modernization, renovation or other needs. The building manager will have to report to the energy seller how the energy will be billed (that is, as a tenant prosumer), and everything will be documented by a resolution to build the installation.

RENEWABLE ENERGY GRANT

The grant program will cover the cost of purchasing, installing, building a new RES installation or upgrading an existing installation, which will increase the installed capacity of the installation by at least 25%. The grant will also cover supporting installations such as energy storage, heat pumps, etc.

APPLICATION DEADLINE

Applications for funding can be submitted from February 1, 2023 to the Bank of National Economy.
