Poland secures €9.4 billion in EU Recovery Funds

Green Forum
Poland has received €9.4 billion from the EU's National Recovery Plan (NRP) after fulfilling its second and third payment requests.

The funding, delayed by previous disputes between the EU and Poland's former government, will support investments in nurseries, high-speed internet, building insulation, energy modernization, and wind power development.

The current government, led by Prime Minister Donald Tusk and the Civic Coalition, prioritized unlocking these funds after taking office last December.

“This funding will drive critical investments,” said Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz, Poland's funds and regional policy minister.

Poland met 38 reforms and three investment milestones in areas like healthcare, digitalization, and clean mobility to secure approval. The funds also target clean energy, digital education infrastructure, and sustainable transport, with a focus on energy efficiency and air quality improvements.

Under the NRP, EU payments are tied to meeting specific performance benchmarks.
