Machine-classified from the call text; check eligibility at the source. 23 Oct 2026

Typed facts extracted from the source documents by Scindu's grant-data review. Each value keeps its own conditions. Unknown means unstated, not zero or unlimited.

Applicant restriction

The route page lists local governments and their associations/units, entrepreneurs, legal persons, and state-budget units. The general Board loan list includes local governments/associations/units, entrepreneurs, legal persons and housing communities; under the Board rules state-budget units instead receive transfer-of-funds assistance. The route-level beneficiary list therefore does not make every financing form available to every listed applicant.

Application restriction

The route describes continuous intake in general; specific programmes, agreements and contests have separate terms and dates set by Board resolution. State-budget-unit managers must apply by 31 March of the year before the budget year in which task funding begins. Applications after task completion are not considered.

Eligible project scope

The route describes a Fund priority for investment projects, operating costs and activities co-financed with non-repayable EU, international or bilateral funds, and identifies energy-transition and air-protection priorities: emissions reduction, renewables, energy efficiency, energy communities, pilots, low-emission heat replacement, comprehensive thermal modernization (especially public-use buildings), and other investments under the Lower Silesia air-protection programme. These are priority descriptions, not automatic eligibility for every project.

Other condition

The linked Board rules entered into force on 1 May 2026 and apply to applications submitted from that date. Applications filed before entry into force are considered under the rules effective on their filing date; the 2026 Board terms should not be applied retroactively to those older filings.

Other condition

The linked 2020 guideline expressly includes project-related wages among potential direct costs, but only when directly related to project delivery and subject to its detailed conditions and any programme/contract restriction. The category does not establish a hiring requirement, named occupation, headcount, pay rate, employment duration or approved amount.

Other condition

The general Board rules permit partial forgiveness only for loans to the §5(5)(1) borrower classes, and only on application/Board decision under the agreement. Cumulative conditions include completing the task by the original agreement deadline without amendments; achieving the planned physical/ecological effects under the comparison in §7(2)(2); the published comparison is linguistically ambiguous and its numerical threshold requires clarification; timely repayment of 85% of disbursed principal and timely principal/interest (subject to the delay rule below); paying environmental-use fees and penalties owed to the Fund; and filing the current Fund form. Forgiveness is limited to unpaid installments and may be up to 15% of the amount disbursed after at least 60 months of principal repayments counted from the first principal installment, under the agreement’s timing/terms. Combined delays of up to 20 days reduce the possible forgiveness by 0.5 percentage point per delay day; a delay over 20 days loses the possibility of forgiving the unpaid remainder. Excluded are already-paid installments; loans for a task also receiving a Fund grant; loans for tasks with non-repayable financing; liquidity loans; specified EU-documentation loans where the proposed forgiveness would itself be an EU-eligible cost; and market-rate loans. Public-aid rules apply when relevant. Filing the request suspends repayment of remaining principal until decision; refusal or a smaller forgiveness requires payment of the outstanding part within 7 days of notice. This conditional provision is not an automatic grant or general entitlement for every loan.

Other condition2020 Fund cost guide §4.2; penalties charged to contractors by financial and material settlement date.

The amount of contractual penalties charged to contractors by the financial and material settlement date reduces the task's eligible cost. The clause does not categorize all such penalties as ineligible expenses.

Separate clauses: a reduction in the eligible project cost is not a blanket classification of contractor penalties as ineligible expenses. Programme/agreement-specific conditions remain applicable.

Other condition

The Board rules permit costs before agreement only if incurred after filing and scheduled for financing in the material-financial schedule; date of invoice/accounting document is the cost-incurrence date. Procurement obligations apply: public procurement law where required, otherwise equal treatment, fair competition and transparency. Completed projects cannot be submitted. A complete application and Board resolution are not themselves a right to payment until the civil agreement is concluded.

Other condition

For a non-education project, an additional environmental-education component may be treated as eligible only when the Fund requires that component in connection with the Fund-financed non-education undertaking. This is a condition on that cost category, not a general education-cost entitlement.

Other condition

The reviewed page and rules state no route-specific total allocation, project maximum, remaining balance or applicant award amount. No individual grant/loan entitlement exists before the Board approval and contract; project costs, loan eligibility, security and grant form depend on project-specific assessment and any separate resolution.

Other condition

General Board loans depend on borrower creditworthiness; security is negotiated. Interest is paid monthly by the 25th. On request a market-based rate is a separate option under §6; its minimum rate is separately represented in the typed field. General rules remain subject to route/programme-specific resolutions and the civil agreement. Repayment ceiling, principal-grace period and fixed annual rates are represented separately in typed facts.

Other condition

For market-based loans, an SPV without a rating from its own financial history may use a rating one category below its parent only if the parent provides a full, unconditional, on-first-demand repayment guarantee. An SPV formed by multiple entities may use a rating one category below the rounded-down weighted average of owners’ ratings only if those owners jointly provide the same full, unconditional, on-first-demand guarantee. For a newly established enterprise without credit history, the margin should not be below 400 basis points; this is a margin floor, not a total interest rate. Additional security may be required in the cases under §6(4)–(6).

Other condition

The two grant categories specified on the route page are available only together with a loan, and the loan amount cannot be lower than the grant. These specific grant forms do not establish a grant entitlement for every project under this general route.

Eligible cost

The linked Wrocław guideline classifies direct construction/installation works and directly project-related other services, wages and consumables as potential eligible costs, subject to detailed categories, necessary direct relationship, beneficiary conditions and route rules. It gives examples such as technical infrastructure, installations, repairs/adaptation necessary for a project, materials and construction works; directly installed fixed assets and equipment may qualify under additional necessity, application, contract and accounting conditions. This is a conditional category summary, not an approved bill of costs.

Funding intensity, maximum

15 percent of eligible costs

Maximum grant is limited to purchase and installation of electricity or heat storage working with OZE and EMS; annual self-consumption must be at least 60% of generated energy and EMS must permit monitoring. Grant is combined with a loan that cannot be smaller than the grant.

Funding intensity, maximum

25 percent of eligible costs

Maximum grant applies only to replacing a building heat source with a source not fuelled by fossil fuels, in a public-use building as defined in the route page. Route page says grant is combined with a loan; total loan amount cannot be lower than grant.

Funding intensity, maximumWFOŚiGW transfer-of-funds support for tasks carried out by state-budget units under Board rules §10

50 percent of eligible costs

Only state-budget-unit tasks; ceiling is subject to the WFOŚiGW having funds available in its financial plan for the calendar year. This is a different funding form and applicant class from ordinary loans and the two route-specific grant categories.

Ineligible cost

The linked guideline treats indirect entity-operating costs as ineligible unless a route programme or agreement states otherwise, and lists VAT generally as ineligible with specified exceptions. Exact cost treatment remains subject to route/programme-specific rules and the grant or loan agreement.

Ineligible cost2020 Fund cost guide §4.3; fees arising from penalties and fines.

Fees arising from penalties and fines are listed among ineligible costs in §4.3. This is separate from §4.2's eligible-cost reduction for contractual penalties charged to contractors.

Separate clauses: a reduction in the eligible project cost is not a blanket classification of contractor penalties as ineligible expenses. Programme/agreement-specific conditions remain applicable.

Grace period, maximumGeneral grace period for repayment of loan principal

18 months after completion of investment/undertaking

The general rule says the principal grace period should not exceed 18 months, counted from completion of the investment/undertaking; route-specific terms and the agreement may govern.

Loan interest, fixed rateLoans to local governments, their unions/associations/organizational units, commercial companies wholly owned by those entities, and higher-education institutions

2.75 annual fixed interest rate

General fixed rate for loans from WFOŚiGW own funds under the current Board rules; subject to borrower/route-specific resolution and agreement. Market-based terms are a separate option under §6.

Loan interest, fixed rateLoans to other borrower classes listed in §5(1)

4.75 annual fixed interest rate

General fixed rate for loans from WFOŚiGW own funds under the current Board rules; subject to borrower/route-specific resolution and agreement. Market-based terms are a separate option under §6; the §6 minimum floor is separately represented in the existing prose fact.

Loan interest, minimumWFOŚiGW loans granted on market-based terms under §6

4.75 annual interest rate minimum

Available on applicant request under §6(1). The §6(2) floor is the fixed annual rate for the remaining borrower classes under §5(5)(2); this is distinct from the fixed-rate loan products and is not a universal fixed rate. Subject to creditworthiness, rating, any security requirement and the agreement.

Loan principal, maximum shareLiquidity loan ceiling measured against the awarded non-repayable refund amount from EU, international/bilateral or domestic non-repayable sources

100 percent of awarded non-repayable external funding

Only for eligible projects funded with the listed non-repayable sources and where the external support is paid as reimbursement; loan cannot exceed that awarded funding amount. Subject to creditworthiness, project decision and agreement.

Loan principal, maximum shareMaximum WFOŚiGW loan principal for eligible project costs under the general own-fund loan rules

100 percent of eligible project costs

General ceiling only; subject to creditworthiness, project-specific decision, any route/programme-specific resolution and the civil agreement. This is not an award or an assurance that every listed route beneficiary can obtain a loan.

Loan term, maximumGeneral WFOŚiGW loan repayment period

180 months of loan repayment term

Term and security are negotiated; the fifteen-year ceiling is a general Board term and remains subject to any route/programme-specific resolution and the loan agreement.

• A conditional cost category stated in the linked WFOŚiGW eligible-cost guideline; not a vacancy, job promise or staffing plan. Contract form is not specified by the cited clause.

  Other role · Staff cost the grant can fund

  Only potentially eligible where remuneration is directly related to project delivery and accepted under the linked detailed guideline and any programme/contract restriction. The guideline requires an individual Management Board decision for eligible costs on each state-budget-unit task; an educational component on a non-education project is eligible only when the Fund requires it. No role title, headcount, pay amount, duration or hiring obligation is specified.
