Green Energy: New settlement rules for prosumers and simplifications for investors
The act introduces significant changes for owners of photovoltaic installations, limiting the amount of overpayment refunds for energy fed into the grid. It also facilitates the construction of new renewable energy sources by classifying them as investments of overriding public interest, which is intended to speed up procedures.
Key points
New limits for prosumers: The refund for surplus energy fed into the grid will not exceed 20% or 30% of its value in a given month, depending on the settlement system.
Easier investments in renewables: The construction and modernization of renewable energy source (RES) installations are now considered of 'overriding public interest', simplifying administrative processes.
Faster procedures: Deadlines for issuing permits and connecting to the grid have been shortened, especially for photovoltaic installations mounted on buildings.
Changes for industry: Energy-intensive companies will receive reliefs but will be required to invest in energy efficiency or green energy. A new 'equalization fee' is also introduced for them.
End of support for coal cogeneration: The new regulations exclude energy and heat produced from coal fuels from financial support.
Option to change settlement system: Prosumers on older rules (net-billing based on monthly price) can switch to the new system (hourly prices), but this decision will be irreversible.
