Launch date of the Moje Prąd 6.0 program
The latest, sixth edition of the "Moj Prąd 6.0" program will be launched in September 2024, which is a certain delay compared to the original assumptions. The president of the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management, Dorota Zawadzka-Stępniak, confirmed this date, while emphasizing that the specific start date of the program has not yet been set. The delay is due to the need to consider all applications from the previous edition of the program. More information on the website: National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management.
Details about the "My Current 6.0" program are awaited by many, especially since the previous editions of the program have contributed to the popularization of photovoltaic installations in Poland. Therefore, it is worth staying up to date and following all the news so as not to miss your chance to benefit from funding.
Budget and conditions for obtaining funding under the program
The budget planned for the sixth edition of the "My Electricity" program is PLN 400 million, but it can be increased depending on the number of applications submitted. This shows that the state is ready to adapt to the needs of citizens, and the interest in the program is so great that this may be necessary.
One of the key new requirements introduced in the "Moj Prąd 6.0" program is the need to install an energy storage facility. Thanks to this, beneficiaries will be able not only to generate electricity using solar panels, but also to store it effectively and use it according to their own needs. This is a significant change compared to previous editions of the program, which makes this investment even more attractive.
To obtain funding, it will be necessary to meet the requirements of the program, which may also include compliance with the technical and legal aspects of the installation. It is therefore worth familiarizing yourself with the conditions of the "My Electricity 6.0" program now to prepare for submitting the application and maximize your chances of receiving financial support.
Changes compared to previous editions of the program
Each edition of the “Moj Prąd” program brought innovations and new opportunities for beneficiaries. The sixth edition is no exception, introducing significant changes that aim to even better adapt the program to the needs of users. The most important novelty is co-financing not only the photovoltaic installations themselves, but also energy storage and energy management systems.
The maximum subsidy amount has been increased compared to previous editions, which is a response to the increase in installation costs and investor expectations. The introduction of the requirement to combine photovoltaic installations with energy storage as a condition for receiving funding is also a novelty that significantly affects the shape of the program. Additionally, the new edition allows you to apply for support also for projects implemented after the end of the fifth edition, which allows for retroactive funding.
New obligations for beneficiaries
In the latest version of the "Moj Prąd" program, beneficiaries will face a new challenge, which is the obligation to install an energy storage facility. This is an important change that highlights the trend towards energy self-sufficiency and increasing the efficiency of solar energy use. Energy storage is mandatory because, according to experts, we have outdated networks that do not receive the appropriate amount of energy.
Without meeting this new requirement, it will not be possible to obtain funding under the program. This is a step that aims not only to support ecological energy sources, but also to ensure their effective use, even during hours without sunlight. This approach will certainly change the way we think about renewable energy and its use in households.
Availability of funds and degree of investor interest
A delay in launching the "Moj Prąd 6.0" program may affect the speed at which funds allocated for the current edition run out. In previous editions, great interest in the program was noticed, which resulted in quick allocation of funds.
In this context, the degree of investor interest may be even higher, taking into account the additional benefits resulting from the obligation to install energy storage. This may result in the need for quick action on the part of potential beneficiaries who do not want to miss the opportunity to obtain funding. Therefore, it is worth starting preparations for applying now and following all news related to the program.
How to prepare for the new call for applications?
Waiting for the start of the new call for applications "My Electricity 6.0" is the perfect time to prepare for the application process, especially after the end of the fifth call for applications. It is recommended that interested parties pre-organize the purchase and installation of a photovoltaic system before the official start of the recruitment process.
Thanks to this, they will not only be able to benefit from the funding faster, but also be fully prepared to meet all the requirements of the program. It is important to understand the process of submitting applications and collecting the necessary documents, which increases the chances of successfully passing the verification process and receiving funding.
Benefits of combining a photovoltaic installation with an energy storage facility
Integration of a photovoltaic installation with an energy storage is a step forward in the effective management of the energy produced. This allows not only to store surplus energy for own needs, but also to use it during periods when energy production is impossible or inefficient, such as at night.
Moreover, energy storage allows for a significant reduction in the costs associated with electricity consumption, which directly translates into savings in bills. Thanks to this, the investment in photovoltaics is becoming more and more profitable, and the payback period can be much shorter.
Additionally, the energy storage provides:
-
energy independence, allowing the use of electricity even in the event of a failure or inefficient power grids
-
a security aspect that is gaining importance nowadays
-
modern energy management systems, often operated via mobile applications, allowing easy monitoring and control of consumption
This is also an aspect of security that is gaining importance nowadays. Modern energy management systems, often operated via mobile applications, allow for easy monitoring and control of consumption, which is convenient and practical.
Alternative sources of financing for photovoltaics
Although the "My Electricity 6.0" program is one of the most attractive sources of financing for a photovoltaic micro-installation, there are many other support options that may be equally beneficial. European funds, such as FENG or FEnIKS, or national programs such as the National Reconstruction Program, offer funding that can support the implementation of projects related to renewable energy sources.
Enterprises can also count on a number of programs supporting photovoltaic investments, ranging from non-repayable subsidies to various financial instruments. This wide range of possibilities allows you to tailor the source of financing to the individual needs and capabilities of each investor.
Also in 2024, subsidy programs, preferential loans and credits are planned for ecological projects, including photovoltaics. Therefore, it is worth considering all available options and choosing the most advantageous solution that will enable you to realize your dreams of your own ecological energy.
Summary
To sum up, the "Moj Prąd 6.0" program is not only a continuation of support for people installing photovoltaic panels, but also an extension of the program to include a new requirement to install an energy storage facility. Thanks to this, program participants will be able not only to produce, but also to effectively manage the energy produced. These changes demonstrate the evolution of the program and its adaptation to the current needs of users and the market.
The time left until September is an excellent opportunity to prepare to take advantage of the new call for applications. Potential beneficiaries should consider all available financing paths and choose the most suitable one. Let us remember that investing in photovoltaics means not only savings in electricity bills, but also a contribution to environmental protection and building energy independence.
