Commission assesses Poland’s updated climate and energy plan

The European Commission has published its assessment of Poland’s final updated National Energy and Climate Plan, saying the country has increased ambition and can meet its 2030 climate and energy targets if the plan is fully implemented.

• The assessment says Poland is on track for its Effort Sharing Regulation target of cutting GHG emissions 17.7% by 2030 vs 2005, while noting a remaining gap in LULUCF and calling for stronger buildings, renewables, and fossil fuel subsidy reforms.
• The Commission says Poland’s updated renewable and energy efficiency contributions now align with EU targets; it also notes EU countries must report on NECP implementation in March 2027 and that Poland was the final EU country to submit its plan.
