Renovation in Poland

The policy brief highlights that Poland has access to unprecedented EU funding for thermal modernization through the Multiannual Financial Framework 2021-2027 and the Recovery and Resilience Facility. However, it warns that fragmented information on financing and a lack of monitoring of financial flows risk the inefficient use of these funds. To address this, the author recommends tying support to efficiency gains, establishing long-term programs with continuous calls, avoiding overlaps between support systems, and standardizing the evaluation and monitoring of investment projects and financial flows.

• Poland faces a risk of partial or inefficient use of unprecedented EU funds for thermal modernization due to limited monitoring of financial flows and fragmented information regarding financing scales, sources, and instruments.
• The document recommends that financial support be linked to the actual increase in efficiency and the expected environmental effects of low-carbon energy sources to improve spending efficiency and emission reductions.
• To increase investor confidence and project quality, the author suggests designing long-term support programs with continuous calls for applications and stable rules.
• The author proposes standardizing support conditions and requirements for environmental impact across building types to prevent competition and overlaps between different support programs.
• Poland must implement a methodology for tracking financial flows and a coherent reporting system to monitor progress and demonstrate the share of green investments within European funding spending.
