    End Date

    December 31, 2030 (contracts with beneficiaries)

    Eligibility

    Individuals owning or co-owning a single-family home (or a unit with a separate land register) for at least 3 years, with a building permit issued by December 31, 2020, and meeting income thresholds. An energy audit is mandatory before the work and an energy certificate after.

    The Program

    Czyste Powietrze (Clean Air) is Poland's national program for replacing polluting heat sources and thermomodernising single-family homes, run by the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management (NFOŚiGW). The reformed edition launched on March 31, 2025 with a PLN 10 billion budget from the Modernisation Fund.

    How Much

    Support is tiered by income: up to 40% of net eligible costs at the basic level, up to 70% at the increased level, and up to 100% at the highest level for the lowest-income households.

    Rules

    Applicants must have owned or co-owned the home for at least 3 years, and the building permit must predate December 31, 2020. An energy audit is mandatory before the work and an energy certificate after. Contracts with beneficiaries are signed through December 31, 2030, within a program running 2018 to 2032.
