The regulations provide a legal basis for this year\u2019s auctions.<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">The Ministry of Energy expects that green energy contracted in auctions of 2018 and those planned for 2019 will allow Poland to meet the target of 15% RES share in final energy consumption in 2020. According to the ministry&#8217;s calculations, the total increase in electricity production from RES under 2019 auction will be in the range of 10 TWh, and together with 2018 auctions &#8211; approx. 35 TWh.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Basis for auctions in 2019<\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Regulations of the <a href=\"http:\/\/prawo.sejm.gov.pl\/isap.nsf\/download.xsp\/WDU20190001524\/O\/D20191524.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RES Act amendment<\/a> determine the maximum volume and value of electricity to be contracted from specific RES technologies in 2019. \u00a0Thanks to these regulations, auctions in 2019 will provide support for 2.5 GW in onshore wind farms and ca. 1 GW in PV.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">The publication date of the RES Act amendment also has an impact on the auction date. The Energy Regulatory Office, responsible for announcing and running the auction, has not set the exact date yet. However, information from ERO representatives suggests that auctions will most likely take place in December 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload aligncenter size-full wp-image-2603\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-orig-src=\"http:\/\/psew.pl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/Ustawa-o-OZE.png\" alt=\"\" \/>More time for construction<\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">The regulations are favourable to new projects. They extend the deadline for first delivery of electricity to the grid to 24 months for PV and to 33 months for onshore wind (from the date of session closing). The so-called \u201cDistance Act\u201d has also been modified. According to its provisions, building permits for new wind turbines issued before its entry into force remain valid until 16 July 2021. The new expiration date is 5 years from the entry into force of the amendment, i.e. 29 August 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Prosumers and co-operatives will help meet the targets<\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Important regulations also apply to the so-called prosumer package, targeted at small and medium-sized companies who are not \u201cprofessional\u201d energy producers. These entrepreneurs will be able to build a micro-installation of up to 50 kW at their business premises and sell electricity to the grid at fixed conditions (with an obliged seller or other selected entity), and use discounts when consuming electricity from the grid.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">According to Jadwiga Emilewicz, the Minister of Entrepreneurship and Technology, this solution will effectively mitigate the increase in electricity prices related to the so-called carbon tax.\u00a0The amended RES act also stipulates the rules for establishing and running energy cooperatives, anticipated by residents of smaller towns and rural areas.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">&#8211; The prosumer package is another good news in the energy sector in Poland. It will not only allow for cheap and clean electricity for small and medium-sized companies in Poland, but also help us meet our RES target we had declared to the European Commission &#8211; said<strong> Jadwiga Emilewicz<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h5><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Changes for biogas a bit later<\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">However, not all provisions of the amended RES Act come into force immediately. Among those deferred provisions are those related to definition of biogas. These will become valid from 1 January 2020. The legal basis for the Minister of Energy to issue a regulation on detailed technical requirements for micro-installations, issuing connection conditions and connection notifications, will come into force 6 months later, i.e. on 29 February 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The RES Act amendment entered into force on 29 August [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6305,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.9 -
