a) with installed capacity not higher than 1 MW – 70MW;
b) with installed capacity above 1 MW – 30 MW;
2) biogas plants at waste landfills, with installed capacity not higher than 1 MW – 5 MW;
3) biogas plants at sewage treatment plants, with installed capacity not higher than 1 MW – 5 MW;
4) dedicated biomass firing installations with installed capacity above 1 MW – 100 MW;
5) hydro power plants
a) with installed capacity not higher than 1 MW – 10MW;

7) wind power plants with installed capacity above 1 MW – 150 MW.
When determining the volume of electricity to be generated by the above mentioned installations, the unit energy value was adopted at the level indicated in the regulation of the Ministry of Energy of 17 October 2016 on the reference price of electricity from renewable energy sources in 2016 and the periods applicable to producers who won auctions in 2016, excluding installations mentioned in items 6 and 7, where due to very high supply of projects the values of 400 PLN/MWh and 330 PLN/MWh were adopted respectively.
