According to a statement published by the Ministry of Energy, the European Commission on 31 October 2019 informed the Polish government that in its opinion the changes regarding the auction system introduced by the Act of 19 July 2019 on the amendment of the Act on renewable energy sources and certain other acts have<\/span> purely administrative nature and do not imply the need to notify the Commission of new assistance.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Commission’s acceptance concerned the following changes:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> extending the period of payment of 15-year support for winning installations as part of the RES auction.<\/span> The change is dictated by the need to grant investors time to launch the installation (implementation time).<\/span> For the beneficiaries of the last auctions, scheduled for 2021, the above rule would mean shortening the support period by the duration of the investment.<\/span> The support payment period was extended from December 31, 2035 to June 30, 2039.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> extension of the electricity sales date for the first time after winning the RES auction to maintain the differential contract awarded under the auction.<\/span> For solar installations it has been extended from 18 to 24 months, for onshore wind farms from 30 to 33 months, for other generation technologies from 36 to 42 months.<\/span> The 72-month deadline set for offshore wind farms was left unchanged.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

At the same time, the permissible age of devices used in installations for generating energy from renewable energy was extended.<\/span> For solar installations from 18 to 24 months, for onshore wind farms from 30 to 33 months, for other technologies from 36 to 42 months.<\/span> In the case of offshore wind farms, the installation validity period of 72 months was left unchanged.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> in order to adapt the period during which operational support is granted (green certificates were granted from 1 October 2005) to the period in which investors received investment aid, only investment aid that was granted from 1 October 2005 was taken into account.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
