In 2027, we will pay out the remaining amount – over PLN 30 billion – for projects due to be completed in 2027.

The National Recovery Plan amounts to 240 billion zlotys, and every zloty will be used to fund projects under the NRP.

We allocate funds from the NRP to development initiatives that will yield returns over the coming years. Investments under the NRP are in progress and have been channelled to areas where they are most needed – local communities, security, the energy sector and social investments. The Security and Defence Fund was established, with one in every ten zlotys from the NRP allocated to it, and we additionally channelled almost 10 billion zlotys towards investment in local communities across Poland.

The effects of the NRP

Funds from the NRP delivers tangible effects that are visible and accessible to companies and citizens, for example:

• 18,000 new nursery places – in towns and villages where such facilities had never been available, or where the number of such places was insufficient;
• 200,000 homes and 117 libraries and community centres insulated;
• almost 330,000 ecological heat sources;
• high-speed internet for 211,000 households;
• 288 trains (electric multiple units/coaches) and locomotives (PKP Intercity and regional services) and 835 buses (urban and inter-city services);
• 510,000 vouchers used for computers for teachers;
• 1,000 social economy entities have received funding to develop their activities;
• 120 Sector-Specific Skills Centres;
• 288 black spots on the roads eliminated;
• 11 bypasses around small and medium-sized towns;
• We have set up the Security and Defence Fund to be used to build shelters all over Poland.

Multi-billion investments from the NRP in the energy and healthcare sectors

Selected projects from the NRP that are currently in progress:

• PLN 9.8 billion - construction of offshore wind farms in the Baltic Sea; this year, electricity will be generated by the first of them – Baltic Power;
• PLN 3.2 billion - expansion and modernisation of the electricity transmission networks, including the implementation of digital solutions to improve network management (e.g. CSIRE), which will enable the consumption of energy from RES;
• PLN 9.2 billion - new equipment for district and specialist hospitals; the first supplies are underway;
• PLN 2.2 billion - the Gdańsk–Gustorzyn gas pipeline and the LNG terminal; construction is underway, and drilling of the tunnel has been launched in Górki Zachodnie.

These are just a few examples which demonstrate that the NRP involves real investment transforming Poland. Funds from the NRP support business growth and the creation of new jobs, modernise Poland’s energy sector and healthcare system, develop new technologies and improve our security.

Rules for disbursement of money from the NRP

Funds from the NRP are transferred to Poland in accordance with a schedule based on Poland’s fulfilment of all the requirements contained in the Plan, and are disbursed on an ongoing basis to beneficiaries implementing projects. Funds are channelled in accordance with the Act on the Principles of Development Policy, which governs the implementation of the NRP.

To date, we concluded over 1,083,000 contracts for the amount of PLN 210.6 billion in capital expenditure across all areas of the plan’s implementation. We launched calls for proposals for 58 investment projects, including 43 projects under the grant component (accounting for over 98 per cent of the allocated funds) and all 15 investment projects under the loan component (accounting for 100 per cent of the funds).
