Number of prosumers increased threefold in 2019

The number of prosumers increased almost three times in 2019 compared to 2018, the Energy Regulatory Office (URE) said on Thursday. The increase of installed capacity in solar photovoltaic installations was also record-breaking.

According to the regulator's annual report on electricity generated in renewable energy micro installations, including prosumers, the number of prosumers at the end of 2019 exceeded 149,000. For comparison, a year earlier there were just over 51,000 prosumers.

In 2018, the capacity installed in photovoltaic micro installations was 344 MW, and at the end of 2019, it already exceeded 900 MW. Prosumers introduced over 324 GWh of electricity to the network.

According to URE data, most prosumer micro-installations are connected to the PGE Dystrybucja network, Tauron Dystrybucja comes second, and Energa-Operator comes third
