RES and energy efficiency

Funding for RES and energy transition

The European Union aims to achieve climate neutrality by 2050, as indicated in the European Green Deal strategy. Targets set under the Green Deal stipulate reducing CO2 emissions by at least 55% by 2030 versus 1990 levels (the earlier consensus stipulated a 40% reduction). It is a huge challenge that requires both a holistic strategy for company decarbonisation and significant financial resources.

Among other things, this goal is to be achieved through:

boosting investments in renewable energy sources;
developing technologies in the field of energy storage, the use of hydrogen, fuel cells, and alternative fuels, as well as carbon capture, storage, and utilisation;
increasing the energy efficiency of enterprises.

The above goals are reflected in the priorities of various programmes through which support can be sought under the EU financial perspective 2021-27. National funds from the State budget are also addressed to the energy transition of the industry.

European Funds for Infrastructure, Climate, and Environment 2021-2027 (FEnIKS)

The FENIKS programme is the largest operational programme in the EU’s 2021-2027 financial perspective. Support under the FEnIKS Programme is aimed at investment projects connected e.g. with:

increasing the energy efficiency of enterprises,
generating energy from renewable energy sources (RES), including wind energy, photovoltaics, biomass, and biomethane, as well as constructing energy storage facilities and grid connection infrastructure,
cogeneration.

National Recovery Plan

Funding under the NRP is aimed at energy transition projects that focus on the following areas:

hydrogen technologies, hydrogen generation, storage, and transportation,
RES installations executed by energy communities,
energy efficiency and RES in enterprises: investments with the greatest potential for reducing GHG emissions.

National Fund for Environmental Protection programmes

The National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management offers programmes focusing e.g. on increasing the use of RES in business operations and improving energy efficiency. Funding under the “Energy Plus” programme is a case in point.

European Funds for a Modern Economy (FENG)

Projects concerning researching and developing innovative solutions in the field of energy and climate change (new products, solutions, and technologies) may apply for funding under the SMART path. Funding is available for enterprises (large, SMEs) as well as consortia (including consortia involving research institutions). In addition, the SMART path involves funding for implementing innovations (investment projects) as well as business greening, i.e. direct investments in green solutions aimed at e.g. boosting energy efficiency.

Within the scope of the FENG programme, investments in supporting the energy efficiency of SMEs and mid-caps are also supported through the Green Credit facility.

Horizon Europe

International research projects focusing on developing breakthrough solutions, including solutions in the field of RES and energy efficiency, that are at the early stages of development can be co-funded from the Horizon Europe programme that is managed directly at the European Commission level. The maximum level of funding for Research and Innovation Actions reaches up to 100% of eligible costs.
