| Promotion system | - Quota system. In Poland, the main means of promotion is a quota system in terms of a quota obligation, which is combined with a certificate trading system. The Energy Law Act obliges electricity generators and suppliers that provide electricity to customers in Poland to fulfil a specified quota of certificates of origin/ green certificates. These certificates are awarded to the producers of electricity from renewable sources.
- Loans. The National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management grants low-interest loans to environmentally sustainable projects. This definition also covers projects involving renewable electricity generation.
- Fiscal regulation mechanisms. The generators of electricity from renewable energy sources are exempt from the tax on electricity consumption.
