My Electricity 6.0. Applications already cover over 90 percent of the budget
The National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management has already received funding applications that account for over 90 percent of the My Electricity 6.0 program’s budget. Among various programs for individuals, the My Heat initiative has received the highest number of applications, utilizing more than half of the allocated funds.
As reported by the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management, by August 22, the Fund had processed applications totaling nearly PLN 1.7 billion for the My Electricity 6.0 program, which is 91.8% of its PLN 1.85 billion budget. This program provides financial support for the installation of photovoltaic panels or micro-installations with energy or heat storage units.
Who is eligible for funding?
The assistance is aimed at prosumers who have incurred costs for their photovoltaic systems after January 1, 2021, and are billed under the net-billing system. For PV systems connected to the grid from August 1, 2024, eligibility for the subsidy also requires investment in an energy or heat storage facility.
Grants for PV micro-installations that also feature an energy storage and/or heat storage unit can amount to PLN 7,000, while those without are available up to PLN 6,000. Prosumers may receive up to PLN 5,000 for a heat storage facility with a minimum capacity of 20 dm3, and up to PLN 16,000 for electricity storage facilities with at least 2 kWh capacity.
