Power generators with funding 2025–2026.

How municipalities, counties, and fire departments can strengthen energy resilience with APEX Agregaty Prądotwórcze.

In the years 2025–2026, Polish municipalities, counties, and emergency services have a unique opportunity to obtain funds from the government's Civil Protection and Civil Defense Program (OL i OC). The program provides funding of up to 100% of the costs for investments that increase the safety of residents and the resilience of public infrastructure – including the purchase of power generators and emergency power systems. This is a huge opportunity to strengthen local energy systems, a field in which APEX Agregaty Prądotwórcze, an authorized distributor of Europe's largest generator manufacturer, HIMOINSA, has specialized for years.


Why are generators crucial in the OL i OC program?

In the section "Logistical securing and ensuring continuity of supplies," the program explicitly lists power generators as an essential element for maintaining the operational continuity of key civil protection facilities. The document emphasizes the need to ensure the energy autonomy of public buildings such as hospitals, government offices, schools, wastewater treatment plants, shelters, and fire department units. This means that investments in emergency power are no longer an "add-on" – they are becoming a mandatory standard for the energy security of municipalities and emergency services.


Who can benefit from the funding?

The beneficiaries of the program are:

  • Local government units (JST) – municipalities, counties, cities,
  • State Fire Service (PSP) and Volunteer Fire Departments (OSP),
  • Critical and public infrastructure entities – hospitals, schools, waterworks, crisis management centers.

The program allows for financing up to 100% of the task costs in the form of a targeted grant awarded by the voivode. The first tranches are expected to reach local governments no later than September 30, 2025.


The Fire Department – a pillar of the civil protection system

In the OL i OC document, fire departments are identified as a key element of the rescue system. The program covers both the PSP and OSP, defining their role in ensuring safety and crisis response.

Therefore, fire stations, rescue and firefighting units, alarm points, and PSP / OSP command posts are fully eligible for support regarding:

  • the purchase of stationary or mobile generators,
  • modernization of electrical installations and ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch) assembly,
  • expansion of energy infrastructure,
  • integration with communication and alarm systems.

The goal is to maintain the combat readiness of the fire department even during prolonged power outages. A municipality can thus apply for a grant to purchase a generator for its OSP unit, while the PSP can apply within provincial tasks.


What facilities and investments are covered by the program?

The OL i OC program lists a broad catalog of infrastructure that should be energy-secured.

Priority is given to:

  • Hospitals and medical facilities (ED, ICU) – ensuring continuity of diagnostics and treatment.
  • Shelters, temporary shelters, and collective protection facilities – powering ventilation, water, sewage, and communication systems.
  • Waterworks and wastewater treatment plants (WTP, WWTP) – maintaining continuity of water supply and sewage collection.
  • Offices, crisis management centers, ICT systems – powering command and communication posts.
  • PSP and OSP units – maintaining operational readiness and alarm functions.

What can be financed under the project?

The application can cover not only the purchase of the generator itself but also complete equipment ensuring reliability and safety:

  • Stationary and mobile generators (diesel, gasoline, gas, containerized),
  • Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS),
  • Fuel tanks and retention systems,
  • Energy storage and hybrid systems (generator + storage),
  • Modernization of connections, grounding systems, and noise attenuation.

In the case of the fire department, mobile generators on trailers, which can power the action site or evacuation points, as well as stationary sets with automatic start-up in fire stations, are particularly effective.


How to prepare an application for funding?

  1. Diagnose energy needs – determine critical loads, peak power, autonomy time.
  2. Prepare documentation – cost estimate, schedule, technical description, and safety justification.
  3. Submit the application to the voivode – they manage the funds in the region and evaluate the validity of the projects.
  4. Plan for exploitation – the program requires ensuring equipment maintenance and readiness.

How does APEX Agregaty support municipalities, counties, and fire departments?

As a long-standing partner of the public sector and a distributor of HIMOINSA generators, APEX AGREGATY PRĄDOTWÓRCZE offers comprehensive support in the implementation of investments covered by the OL i OC program:

  • Selecting a generator based on the facility's specifics – hospital, WTP, fire station, crisis center.
  • Complete documentation for the application – data sheets, diagrams.
  • 24/7 service and post-implementation support – compliant with program requirements regarding business continuity.

Thanks to experience in working with local governments, APEX Agregaty Prądotwórcze helps navigate the entire process – from the plan and application to technical acceptance.
