Micro-System Using Bioliquids (with a Capacity of up to 50 kW)
Steps in the investment process for implementing such a system
The investment path for micro-systems using bioliquids has been significantly shortened compared to larger-capacity systems of this type. However, it is necessary to obtain, among other things, a Construction Permit.
Step 1 – Spatial planning
In the Polish legal framework, the most important role is played by Local Spatial Development Plans (MPZP). In areas not covered by these plans, during the transitional period following the entry into force of the spatial planning reform (Act of 7 July 2023 amending the Act on Spatial Planning and Development and certain other acts, Journal of Laws 2023, item 1688), Decisions on Land Development Conditions apply. An additional solution introduced by the reform is the Integrated Investment Plan (ZPI).
Step 2 – Obtaining a construction permit
A Construction Permit is an element of the investment process that constitutes the basis for commencing construction works on a bioliquid-based system. Without this decision, construction works cannot begin, nor can the system be put into operation at a later stage.

Step 3 – Operational notification
An operational notification is required for bioliquid-based systems classified as buildings. In such cases, they fall under category XVIII of the annex to the Construction Law, and their use must be preceded by submitting an operational notification.
Other cases requiring an operational notification include situations where the investor intends to use part of the system before completing all construction works, or when legalizing unauthorized construction.

Step 4 – Micro-system notification / obtaining conditions for connection
If the capacity of the micro-system is less than or equal to the connection capacity of the facility on which it will be installed, a Micro-system Notification is submitted. The operator connects the system within 30 days from the date of notification.
If the connection capacity of the micro-system exceeds the connection capacity of the facility, an Application for Issuance of Conditions for Connection to the Electricity Grid is required.
