The program has a budget of 160 million euros, funded by the Recovery Fund, and will be implemented by TAIPED.
Eligible systems will be zero feed-in, meaning they will not be able to feed the electricity they generate into the grid. Therefore, the electricity generated can either be consumed directly (simultaneous generation and consumption) or stored in a battery for use at a later time.
The program will cover standard photovoltaic systems, that is, systems without batteries. This is because it was considered important to make funding available to businesses that do not need batteries. The subsidy for “standard” photovoltaic systems will be significantly lower than the government support for systems combined with batteries.
The Ministry of Environment and Energy aims to include businesses of all sizes—from small companies to the largest (and most energy-intensive).

The criteria will include the business’s turnover, as well as the percentage reduction in electricity consumption from the grid achieved through the photovoltaic system.
The choice of zero feed-in systems allows them to be installed even in areas with saturated grids, where saturation is due to a lack of available electrical “capacity.”
Regarding the possibility of connecting to the grid, the Ministry of Environment and Energy is promoting a solution to ensure that beneficiaries do not face connection difficulties, even in areas where the grid is saturated.
