Highlights

• The National Contact Point for Renewable Energy Sources serves as a reliable source of comprehensive and up-to-date information for stakeholders planning investments in renewable energy.

Why Was NCP RES Established?

The investment process for renewable energy installations involves numerous procedures conducted by various public authorities - from the initiation of investment planning through to energy generation in a renewable energy installation.

The National Contact Point for Renewable Energy Sources was established to facilitate access to information on the entire renewable energy investment process, providing clear and structured guidance in one place.

Objectives of NCP RES

One of the objectives of NCP RES is to relieve public administration bodies by offering structured and accessible explanations of individual procedures related to renewable energy investments.

The portal is particularly useful for individuals and entities seeking to become:

• renewable energy prosumers, or
• renewable energy producers.

An additional value of NCP RES is its educational role. The portal serves as a knowledge base covering procedures for developing renewable energy projects, as well as broader information on renewable energy sources, their functioning, utilization potential, and available support schemes and incentive mechanisms.

What Information Can Be Accessed?

NCP RES acts as the first point of reference for information on administrative procedures required for the implementation of renewable energy projects, including:

• conditions that must be met to initiate a given procedure,
• available ways to complete formalities (including electronic channels),
• expected processing times,
• competent authorities responsible for specific procedures,
• step-by-step guidance on actions required from investors,
• descriptions of actions undertaken by decision-making authorities,
• applicable administrative fees,
• duration of proceedings,
• available appeal mechanisms.

What Resources Does NCP RES Offer?

Through the NCP RES portal, users can access:

• descriptions of renewable energy investment processes,
• explanations of administrative procedures related to renewable energy projects,
• a comprehensive Renewable Energy Investment Procedures Handbook containing detailed guidance on planning and implementing RES investments.

As NCP RES continues to develop, the News section will feature updates on legislative changes, good practices, and examples of successfully implemented renewable energy projects. In addition, as part of its information and educational activities, the portal will regularly highlight the economic and environmental benefits of investing in renewable energy.
