To benefit from the support of the Recovery and Resilience Facility set up by the EU in the aftermath of the COVID-19-induced economic crisis, Member States submit their recovery and resilience plans to the European Commission. Each plan sets out the reforms and investments to be implemented by end-2026 and Member States can receive financing up to a previously agreed allocation. Each plan should effectively address challenges identified in the European Semester, particularly the country-specific recommendations of 2019 and 2020 adopted by the Council. It should also advance the green and digital transitions and make Member States’ economies and societies more resilient.The Total value reaches approx. €59.8 billion, which are divided into (i) €25.3 billion in RRF grants and (ii) €34.5 billion in RRF loans.
Poland’s plan strongly supports climate and environment objectives:
• ≈46.6 % of funding goes to green projects.
• Includes investment in renewable energy (offshore onshore wind), energy-efficient building renovations, green hydrogen, and sustainable transport.
• Regulatory changes to facilitate renewable projects and electricity imports.
The plan was approved by the Council on 17 June 2022.
