Summary/Abstract: The road to climate neutrality by the European Union initiates changes in the legal acts of the Member States, including Poland, which contribute to the transformation of current business models in the energy sector. The draft act amending the act – energy law and the act on renewable energy sources changes the perception of the electricity prosumer, turning him into an active participant in the energy market. The aim of this article is to propose the concept of a new prosumer business model using the business model canvas tool. The article analyzes the current conditions of the functioning of the home micro-installation business model in order to successively adapt it to the new business environmental conditions resulting from the draft act. The research procedure allowed for the creation of the concept of the business model of the emerging prosumer, indicating significant directions of changes in the sector, depicted in the nine blocks constituting the business models. In the event of a positive conclusion of the legislative process, from 2022, future prosumers will be obliged to adopt a new business model, while the so far operating on the market will maintain the obtained support model until the end of its duration. The study may be used in further attempts to adapt business models to the applicable regulations, both on theoretical and practical grounds.
