Financing of eco-installations
Current grants:
The aim of the programme My Current is subsidies for photovoltaicsto increase Poles' interest in alternative sources of electricity generation. Today, the programme looks slightly different than before, as subsidy for photovoltaics 2023 includes not only panels, but also all kinds of systems created for the storage, production, consumption of energy and heat pumps.
Subsidies for photovoltaics are aimed at individuals who have a contract with a Distribution Network Operator for a photovoltaic micro-installation. Financial support can also be sought for equipment to store electricity and heat at the same location as the electricity is produced. This way, you do not have to use the general grid. In addition My Current 5.0 provides funding for equipment to manage the electricity generated.
My Electricity 5.0 is aimed at prosumers who, as at the date of application, have a connected photovoltaic micro-installation with a capacity of between 2 kWp and 10 kWp and are billed for the electricity they produce through a system of net-billing.
The premise of the fifth photovoltaic subsidy is to go beyond the photovoltaic panels themselves, i.e. to reach people who do not want to be dependent on the general electricity grid in any way. They can ensure the stable operation of their appliances and rationally manage the electricity generated. This also raises awareness of the use of home appliances and contributes to an environmentally friendly lifestyle.

The essence of the programme is to improve air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by replacing heat sources and improving the energy efficiency of single-family residential buildings.
The tool to achieve the objective is to subsidise projects implemented by beneficiaries eligible for the basic subsidy level, beneficiaries eligible for the increased subsidy level and beneficiaries eligible for the highest subsidy level.
The beneficiaries were divided into three groups:
Group one: Persons declaring an annual income of less than PLN 100 000. They are entitled to receive a PLN 25,000 grant.
Group two: Persons whose average monthly income per family member does not exceed PLN 1,564 (in the case of multi-family households) or PLN 2,189 (in the case of single-person households). Such persons can count on a subsidy of PLN 32,000.
Group three: Persons whose average monthly income per family member does not exceed PLN 900 (in the case of multi-family households) or PLN 1,260 (in the case of single-person households). Such persons can count on a subsidy of PLN 60,000.
Who can benefit from the programme?
The Clean Air Programme is open to any natural person who owns or co-owns a property.
Important dates
- 2018-2029 - duration of the programme
- 31.12.2027 - last day for signing of contracts
- 30.06.2029 - completion of all contracted works
How much money can be received?
Those who take advantage of the Clean Air Programme will be reimbursed for part of their investment. The maximum value of the investment for which a grant is calculated is PLN 53,000. In the event that the investment costs exceed £53,000, interested parties can receive loan for additional expenditure. The minimum value of an eligible investment is PLN 7,000.
What can you get funding for?
- replacing old cookers and boilers using solid fuels,
- wall insulation,
- replacement of window and door joinery,
- installation or modernisation of central heating and hot water systems,
- installation of renewable energy sources (e.g. photovoltaic installations),
- energy audit,
- installation of mechanical ventilation with heat recovery.
Clean air+ - that is, the payoff before the renovation.
As of 15 July 2022, it is possible to obtain a surcharge before the start of the investment. An investor can submit New proposal under the Clean Air+ programme for funding for the replacement of a boiler that does not meet ecological standards, the installation of a new heat source and the thermal modernisation of the building. Under this programme, you can obtain 50% of the anticipated investment grant prior to its commencement.
50% of the maximum subsidy expected for the investor in question will be transferred to the contractor's accountso that he can purchase the materials and start work. Contracts with up to three contractors can be submitted in the application. The programme is expected to work quickly. The money is to be transferred to the contractor within 14 days of signing the grant agreement.
Upon completion, the remaining 50% value of the grant is to be transferred as soon as possible to the investor's account. The intention of the iteration of the Clean Air+ programme is for the state to take over the obligation to finance thermal modernisation projects.
How do I obtain funding?
- Examine the requirements of the building - the current state and needs of the building, which must be included in the energy audit or simplified energy analysis. These will then be reviewed by a representative of the WFOŚiGW.
- Submit your application - they will be accepted and processed by the the territorially competent Provincial Funds for Environmental Protection and Water Management.
- Sign the funding agreement.
- Apply for payments - can be paid in several tranches.
- Completion of the project - A visit by a representative of the WFOŚiGW will confirm the implementation of the project. In addition, it is possible to inspect the project during the sustainability period (project maintenance) by 3 years.
- Settlement of the project - To take place after positive verification implementation of the project by a representative of the WFOŚiGW.

All owners and co-owners of a single-family house can benefit from the thermal modernisation allowance. Even if the house has more than one owner, each owner has a tax deduction of up to £53,000.
The amount of the deduction applies to the taxpayer, not to the property he owns. Therefore, if we own 3 single-family buildings in which we have carried out thermal modernisation, the amount of the deduction will be a total of PLN 53,000, not PLN 53,000 for each building.
When deducting the allowance, it is important to rely on the VAT invoices for the thermo-modernisation expenses. It is important to collect only invoices, from the year to which your tax return relates. Once you have added up the amount from all the invoices, you must include it in your return (deduct it from your income or revenue). You complete the data in in the PIT/O document, in part B., in the field "Expenditure on the realisation of a thermal modernisation project".
What can be deducted with the thermal modernisation allowance?
The condition to benefit from the relief is to spend the funds on projects that reduce energy consumption. Such expenditure includes, among others:
- photovoltaic installation and accessories (also in combination with other programmes or subsidies)
- connection to gas and district heating networks
- installation of electric, gas, oil heating
- photovoltaic panel or solar collector with accessories
- heat pump installation
- replacement of doors and windows (roof, balcony, non-opening), garage doors and their dedicated installation systems
- Insulation and modernisation of the building (including roof), implementation of ventilation, recuperation
- insulation and damp-proofing materials for building partitions, balcony slabs, foundations and for the electric heating system and heating installation
- building energy efficiency audit and design documentation
