The formal path step by step
- Application for connection conditions together with proof of legal title to the site
- Deposit of PLN 30/kW for capacity above 5 MW (credited against the connection fee)
- Grid impact study for capacity above 2 MW
- Connection conditions — valid for 2 years
- Connection agreement and implementation schedule on the distribution system operator (DSO) side
Voltage levels and timelines
| Capacity | Level | Conditions issuance deadline |
|---|---|---|
| up to 1 MW | LV 0.4 kV | up to 90 days |
| 1–10 MW | MV 15 / 20 kV | 120 days |
| 10–50 MW | MV 30 kV / HV 110 kV | 150 days |
| above 50 MW | HV 110 kV / 220 kV | 150–210 days |
Adding storage to an existing installation
Adding storage to a PV or wind farm requires amending the connection conditions to a hybrid installation. If the storage system does not increase the power fed into the grid, the procedure is usually faster and concludes with an annex to the agreement.
