The upcoming calls from the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management (NFOŚiGW) for 2026 are a great opportunity for companies from the professional energy, heating and industrial sectors. Investments in cogeneration, RES and network digitalization become the foundation for rating assessment and competitiveness on the market. The key foundation of your chance for success is allocating the right amount of time, which will allow for reliable preparation of formal and legal documentation and obtaining the necessary permits, even at the pre-investment stage.

1. Efficiency for industry

In the second half of 2026, key calls for high-efficiency cogeneration will start. Particular attention should be paid to:

  • Cogeneration — Call 1.4 (Cogeneration for Energy and Industry Part 2): anymore from July 2026 companies will be able to apply for financing investments related to the construction and/or reconstruction of generating units with a total installed capacity not less than 0,5 MW operating in high-efficiency cogeneration conditions.
  • District heating and cogeneration — Applications: 1.5 (CHP for District Heating Part 2), 1.6 (District CHP), 1.12 (District Heating): Scheduled calls for the fourth quarter of 2026 This is a signal for local governments and local heat suppliers. Investments in the construction and/or reconstruction of generating units with a total installed capacity not less than 1 MW, will stabilize energy prices and meet the requirements of an efficient heating system.

2. Infrastructure under e-mobility

There is currently no adequate network infrastructure The Biggest Barrier development electric fleets. Companies that invest in the network in 2026 will become key links in the supply chain green transport. Call 1.1 (Construction/extension of electricity networks for the needs of publicly accessible high-capacity charging stations) will start already in the third quarter of 2026

3. Digitalization and Warehousing

Recruitment: 1.8 (Digitalization of Heating Networks) and 1.16 (Heat storage in district heating) It's not just about investing in hardware. This is primarily an investment in the ability to monitor the carbon footprint and optimize energy losses in real time. Without advanced digitization, reporting of environmental indicators remains in the realm of estimates, which in the current regulatory environment is fraught with high reputational risk. Full control over energy data not only avoids allegations of greenwashing, but above all builds the position of a reliable partner in the market.

4. Intelligent infrastructure, the brain of modern power engineering

Planned for IV quarter 2026 Recruitment 1.2 (Electricity — Intelligent Energy Infrastructure) is the answer to the biggest challenge of the current network, which is its transition to a model Smart Grid. The funding will include systems for monitoring, automation and management of energy flows.

5. RES in the heating industry

In parallel, in October 2026, will move Contract 1.7 (RES - heat source for district heating). This is a must-have project for district heating systems that want to avoid the drastic cost of CO emission allowances2 (ETS system). Support includes installations using solar energy, geothermal, heat pumps or biomass to produce system heat.

Why start now?

The process of obtaining a grant does not begin on the day of the opening of the call, until then it is necessary to prepare:

  • Complete legal documentation and permits: Due to the degree of complexity of processes in state institutions and the need to coordinate approvals from many bodies is is a critical stage. Starting procedures in advance is the only way to elimination of risks failure to meet competition deadlines.
  • Energy audit: It must be completed before applying for funding. It allows you to determine the energy effect and determine economic profitability planned modernization project.
  • Technical analysis: Whether the planned installation or modernization meets the requirements of high-efficiency cogeneration or is it eligible to apply for funding? To answer these and other questions, it is necessary to Detailed technical analysis the process in question.
  • Submission of the application: The stage of adequate description and preparation of documentation according to strictly defined competition rules and attachment of the required annexes.

Adequate time advance allows for in-depth technical and financial analysis, which directly translates into maximizing the scoring of the application and the safety of the entire investment process.
