Sejm passes law on subsidies for heat sources other than coal

The Sejm has passed a law on special solutions for certain heat sources given the situation on the fuel market, providing for subsidies for heat sources such as biomass (wood pellets, chunk wood, wood briquettes, straw, grain), liquefied petroleum gas (propane-butane) and heating oil.

At the same time, the law clarifies the provisions of the Coal Allowance Law, indicating that one allowance is granted per farm, operated from a single address. Payments will be made on applications submitted following the status in the Central Building Emission Register as of August 11 this year. (changes made to the records after this date will not affect the determination of entitlement to the allowance, except for applications made for the first time).

The allowance is to amount to PLN 3,000 when the main source of heat is a solid fuel boiler powered by wood pellets or another type of biomass, PLN 1,000 when the main source of heat is a solid-fuel boiler, fireplace, goat, air heater, cooking range, stove or solid-fuel tiled stove powered by chunk wood, PLN 500 – if the heat source is a gas boiler powered by liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and PLN 2,000 when the main heat source is an oil boiler.
