Its purpose is to support farmers in carrying out investments related to renewable energy sources (RES) and improving the energy efficiency of farms. The program aims to reduce the consumption of fossil fuel energy, as well as reduce emissions of harmful gases into the atmosphere. Agroenergy<\/strong> includes two main areas of support: <\/p>\n\n- Part 1<\/strong>: Investments in RES micro-installations (photovoltaics, heat pumps, wind turbines) up to 50 kW and energy storage.<\/li>\n
- Part 2<\/strong>: Investments in agricultural biogas plants and small hydropower plants with a capacity of up to 500 kW.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The program supports farms that want to become more energy independent, reduce their operating costs and contribute to environmental protection. Farmers can obtain grants and preferential loans for investment in modern energy technologies. The Agroenergy<\/strong> Program is aimed at: <\/p>\n\n- Individual farmers<\/strong> who own farms from 1 hectare to 300 hectares. To take advantage of the program, a farmer must have operated his or her farm for at least one year before applying. <\/li>\n
- Legal entities<\/strong> engaged in agricultural activities or providing agricultural services, such as tenants of agricultural properties and those operating under certain PKD codes (including 01.61.Z \u2013 Service activities supporting crop production, 01.63.Z \u2013 Service activities supporting agriculture and preparing crops for sale).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Scope of support<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe program is divided into two parts:<\/p>\n
\n- Part 1 \u2013 PV micro-installations, heat pumps and energy storage<\/strong>:\n
\n- The subsidy covers photovoltaic installations from 10 kW to 50 kW, wind installations of the same capacity, and heat pumps.<\/li>\n
- Subsidies can be obtained for hybrid installations, that is, combining photovoltaics or wind energy with a heat pump.<\/li>\n
- In addition, support can be obtained for the purchase and installation of energy storage, which increases the efficiency of RES installations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Part 2 \u2013 Agricultural biogas plants and small hydropower plants<\/strong>:\n
\n- Support for the installation of agricultural biogas plants and small hydropower plants with a capacity not exceeding 500 kW.<\/li>\n
- The possibility of subsidies for energy storage accompanying these installations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>
Funding amount<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n- The Agroenergy<\/strong> program offers various forms of subsidies, depending on the type of investment:\n
\n- PV micro-installations, heat pumps and wind installations<\/strong>:\n
\n- Subsidies of up to 20% of eligible costs<\/strong> for energy generation installations.<\/li>\n
- Maximum grant amounts:\n
\n- Installations of 10 < kW \u2264 30<\/strong>: up to PLN 15,000.<\/li>\n
- Installations of 30 < kW \u2264 50<\/strong>: up to PLN 25,000.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Energy storage facilities<\/strong>:\n
\n- Subsidies of up to 20% of eligible costs<\/strong>, provided that the cost of energy storage does not exceed 50% of the value of the energy-generating installation<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
- The installation of energy storage must be implemented in parallel with the RES project.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Hybrid installations (e.g., photovoltaics + heat pump)<\/strong>:\n
\n- Possibility to get an additional bonus of PLN 10,000<\/strong> for hybrid installation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Agricultural biogas plants and small hydropower plants<\/strong>:\n
\n- Subsidies of up to 50% of eligible costs<\/strong> for installations up to 500 kW:\n
\n- Installations up to 150 kW<\/strong>: up to PLN 1,800,000.<\/li>\n
- Installations of 150-300 kW<\/strong>: up to PLN 2,200,000.<\/li>\n
- Installations of 300-500 kW<\/strong>: up to PLN 2,500,000.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>
How to get a grant?<\/strong><\/h3>\nTo take advantage of the Agroenergy<\/strong> program, you must: <\/p>\n\n- Apply<\/strong> \u2013 Applications can be downloaded and submitted on the WFO\u015aiGW Beneficiary Portal.<\/li>\n
- Prepare documentation<\/strong> \u2013 Necessary attachments include energy invoices, farm records, and a simplified energy audit (for heat pumps).<\/li>\n
- Obtain connection approval<\/strong> \u2013 Upon completion of the installation, obtain an acceptance protocol and connection to the power grid.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>
