Poland launches 105 million zł residential energy storage scheme as public backs large‑scale projects

The National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management (NFOŚiGW) announced a new call for subsidies for residential energy storage units, allocating a budget of 105 million zł. The programme, part of the National Reconstruction Plan (KPO), runs from 8 to 19 June 2026 and is open to prosumers who have connected a photovoltaic installation to the grid by 31 October 2025. It is intended to bridge the gap between the end of the "Mój Prąd 6.0" scheme and the forthcoming modernisation fund. In the previous call (30 March–8 May 2026) 12 738 applications were received and 67.4% of the budget was used.

A United Surveys poll commissioned by Virtual Poland surveyed 1 000 respondents about the use of EU recovery funds. Forty‑point‑six percent said the money should first finance large‑scale energy infrastructure such as nuclear power plants, transmission networks and energy storage, while 33.7% favoured direct household support (heating subsidies, photovoltaic installations). Support differs by political affiliation: 54% of coalition voters back state‑led projects, whereas 43% of opposition voters prefer household aid. Small‑ and medium‑size firms and local governments receive minimal backing.
