Regarding questions received about the call for support of new RES capacities and electricity storage, the Ministry of Energy published a Position of the Directorate for National Construction Control (DNCC) on the property-law regime of electricity storage batteries. The position states that:
- in cases where batteries are installed in existing buildings/facilities for the producer’s or end customer’s own consumption, which do not supply energy to the grid, it is not necessary to be issued a building or placement permit.
- When the battery does not fall under the preceding hypothesis, but is a facility within the electricity system, it is considered as a movable object within the meaning of the Spatial Planning Act (SPA).
- In case the batteries are located in containers, the containers constitute a movable object and should be installed with a placement permit issued by the chief architect of the municipality, in accordance with the procedure and under the conditions of Article 56 of the SPA.
- When mobile battery containers are installed on solid reinforced concrete foundations, a separate building permit shall be issued for the foundations.
