Hydrogen market regulation: new rules, consumer rights, and investment simplifications
The act introduces a comprehensive legal framework for the development of the hydrogen market in Poland, defining the rules for its transmission, distribution, storage, and sale. For citizens and businesses, this means clear rules for connecting to hydrogen networks, the right to freely choose a hydrogen supplier, and simplified construction procedures for smaller hydrogen installations.
Key points
Right to choose supplier: Consumers gain the right to purchase hydrogen from a supplier of their choice and the ability to change them easily.
Simplified construction procedures: Building low-pressure hydrogen networks (up to 0.5 MPa) and hydrogen production installations (electrolyzers) up to 10 MW will only require notification instead of a construction permit.
Penalties for illegal consumption: A strict fee of PLN 300 per kilogram has been introduced for the illegal consumption of hydrogen.
Qualification requirements: Individuals operating or supervising hydrogen equipment and networks must obtain appropriate qualification certificates.
Connection fees: Fees for connecting to the hydrogen network or storage facilities will be calculated based on actual costs incurred.
Business licensing: Hydrogen storage and trade (above EUR 10 million annually) will require a concession from the President of the Energy Regulatory Office (URE).
