Virtual can be an assistant, the world, the dean's office, the publisher, but also... a prosumer.
☝️ A virtual prosumer is an end user who generates electricity for their own needs, in a different place than where it is consumed. The PV installation does not have to be connected to a household, and what's more, the user does not even have to physically own it, but share a certain percentage of the energy produced by a larger installation.
This solution has already been introduced in Lithuania and the United States. In Poland, an amendment to the Renewable Energy Sources Act, which regulates the virtual prosumer system, is to enter into force on July 2, 2025. 📄
What are the benefits?
- entrepreneurs will be able to have installations in provinces other than the company headquarters, which provides new opportunities for building owners, housing cooperatives and communities, developers or building managers
- the area of the roof will no longer be a limitation, because the installation can be located, for example, on a remote plot, however its power cannot exceed 50 kW
- virtual prosumers will settle on the basis of market prices, and will be able to use the net-billing system
- virtual prosumers will also have the option of choosing a representative acting on their behalf
✅ The introduction of a virtual prosumer may accelerate the energy transformation in Poland, and also improve the situation of prosumers by reducing electricity bills, while profits and return on investment will depend on various factors, such as the number of shares held in the installations.
