The obligation to submit a report on generated energy to the Energy Regulation Office (URE) does not apply to all photovoltaic installation owners. Every six months, owners of installations registered in the Energy Producers Register must do so. This applies to power sources between 0.05 MW (megawatt) and 1 MW. It therefore does not concern micro‑installations on or near single‑family homes, but those belonging to companies. Often these are installations used for commercial energy production.
The report must be filed on a new form prepared by the URE chairman, which applies to the period from January 1 to June 30, 2026.
Three weeks remain to submit the report
The deadline of July 31, 2026, when the moment for submitting the energy production report expires, is extremely important because its exceeding may result in a 1,000 PLN penalty. Importantly, unlike many official documents, the “postage stamp date” does not count. The July 31 deadline is non‑extendable, meaning that by that day documents must physically reach the URE, i.e., be accepted by the office, not merely sent to it. The form of delivery does not matter. If the owner does it personally, they can even do so on July 31, provided they are sure the document will be accepted. If it is sent by post or courier, it must be done early enough to ensure that the “papers” arrive by July 31.
It is also important to remember that reports cannot be sent by email, as this method is not accepted by the office. That does not mean there is no possibility of electronic delivery. It can be done, but only by the method specified in the regulations, i.e., via e‑delivery.
It is an obligation, not an option
Owners of Small Installations registered in the Energy Producers Register, i.e., the so‑called MIOZE, must remember that from the moment of registration they are obliged to submit a report every six months, even if the installation was shut down and did not produce even one kilowatt of energy. In that case, the report must contain the actual reading, i.e., zero values.
Owners of installations that, for example, have been removed from the register also have an obligation to file a report. They must account for the period during which the installation was listed.
