According to the Ministry of the Environment, Climate and Energy, the amendment enables the harmonization of capacity thresholds for investments in solar and wind power plants with a rated capacity above one megawatt (MW), regardless of the applicant’s status.
Eligible applicants include companies as well as renewable energy communities established in accordance with the Act on the Promotion of the Use of Renewable Energy Sources.
Eligible costs include the purchase and installation of generation equipment and battery systems, related electrical installations and equipment, construction and installation works, as well as professional supervision.

Funding from the European Regional Development Fund covers up to 45 percent of eligible costs for generation facilities without electricity storage capacity and up to 30 percent for battery systems, with a maximum co-financing amount of EUR 25 million per project.
In the case of installing a battery energy storage system, its capacity must amount to at least 0.75 kWh per kW of the rated capacity of the generation facility to which the system is connected.
The deadlines for submitting applications are February 6, 2026, and June 5, 2026. The funds are intended to strengthen renewable energy generation and encourage local and entrepreneurial investments in the energy sector.
