Another call for support for photovoltaics announced
Since 15 May 2024, it has been possible to submit applications for subsidies under the RES+ Call No. 2/2024 – Photovoltaic power plants with a capacity of more than 1 MWp, within the Modernisation Fund.
Support can be obtained for stand-alone photovoltaic power plant (PV) projects with one transmission point to the distribution or transmission system (DS/TS), or for combined PV projects consisting of several sub-projects with more than one transmission point to the DS/TS. Along with the PV plant itself, battery storage systems and electrolysers can also be supported. The call is open until 10 September 2024.
The funds for allocation under the call amount to CZK 4 billion. Support can be applied for by existing or future holders of licenses to operate business in energy sectors (the license is to be granted by the Energy Regulatory Office and obtaining it should not pose a major administrative obstacle). The aid intensity is limited to 30% of eligible costs. To calculate the subsidy amount, the Interactive Subsidy Calculation Tool published on the website of the State Environmental Fund of the Czech Republic can be used.
The project must be completed within 5 years from the date of the decision on granting the support and can be implemented throughout the Czech Republic including Prague. Applications for support shall be submitted through the AIS system of the State Environmental Fund of the Czech Republic. Along with the application, it is necessary to submit, among other things, a contract on the connection of the generating plant to the distribution system or a contract on a future contract on the connection. We therefore recommend that you start preparing the application as soon as possible. If you are interested, we will be happy to help.
