General

In the future, Poland will also support the electricity generation within the frame of a bidding process, similar to known European auction procedures. The Polish economics ministry will determine the reference price before the auction. The reference price for the first auction will probably amount to a sum between 460-480 PLN/MWh.The first auction will be in the second or at the latest in the 4nd quarter of 2016. In the case of a successful auction participation and surcharge, the photovoltaic power plant will have to be built within the next 24 months.
No matter what facility, 25 percent of the yearly auction capacity is assigned to regenerative production facilities with a plant performance < 1MW. The predicted auction's volume will be between 400-500 MW.
