The government has approved legal acts expanding the capabilities of supplying electricity to the grid by microgeneration facilities.
Now the maximum power that microgeneration facilities can supply to the electrical grid has been increased: for individuals – up to 50 kW, for legal entities, individual entrepreneurs, and apartment buildings – up to 150 kW. Previously, the maximum amount of electricity fed into the grid for all consumers was no more than 15 kW.
“The adopted changes create additional incentives for the development of microgeneration. Commercial organizations will be able to more actively equip their own production facilities and retail outlets with solar power plants, and owners of apartment buildings will be able to implement flexible facade and rooftop solutions. This will allow the use of renewable energy sources, reduce electricity supply costs, and compensate for daytime consumption peaks,” noted Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak.
The new capabilities are of particular importance for regions with local electricity shortages and increased sensitivity of the power system to external impacts. The development of distributed microgeneration will contribute to improving the reliability of electricity supply, reducing the load on the network during peak consumption hours, and more efficient use of local energy resources.
At the same time, changes have been made to the rules for technological connection to electrical networks and to the procedure for using common property in apartment buildings. The changes were adopted in implementation of the Federal Law dated June 26, 2026 No. 208-FZ. The law empowered the Government to establish maximum power levels that microgeneration facilities can feed into the common grid, as well as lifted restrictions on the use of microgeneration in apartment buildings regarding the common property of owners.
