One of the important goals of the State Forests is climate action, achieved through reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing the share of renewable energy within the infrastructure of State Forests, whether it's existing, being modernized, or newly built. In the longer term, investments in renewable energy are also intended to ensure the energy self-sufficiency of the organization. The installation of micro-PV systems is part of projects such as "Improving the Energy Efficiency of Buildings in PGL State Forests."

A PV micro-installation is a small-scale system with a capacity of up to 50 kW designed to power buildings or facilities with electricity. State Forests also plan to implement larger installations (up to 1 MW), known as small PV installations, under the "Forest of Energy" project.

PV micro-installations are already operational across all 17 Regional Directorates of the State Forests. The total installed capacity of all these systems amounts to 7 MW! The Regional Directorate of the State Forests in Toruń boasts the highest installed capacity with 1.29 MW of PV systems. Micro-installations are equipped, among others, in the office of the State Forests Directorate in Toruń and 23 out of its 27 forest districts.

Example investments in Rytel Forest District include installations on the district office building and at the seed extraction facility in Klosnowo. Solar energy generated from rooftop installations around the district office meets between 75% to 100% of its needs (in summer), while panels installed at the seed extraction facility produce approximately 50% of the energy required for seed drying and cooling processes, which demand substantial energy.
