Poland
Since the beginning of the COVID19 pandemic in early 2020, Poland has committed at least USD 7.32 billion to supporting different energy types through new or amended policies, according to official government sources and other publicly available information. These public money commitments include:
- At least USD 2.35 billion for unconditional fossil fuels through 11 policies (10 quantified and 1 unquantified)
- At least USD 3.37 billion for conditional fossil fuels through 2 policies (1 quantified and 1 unquantified)
- At least USD 85.93 million for unconditional clean energy through 10 policies (5 quantified and 5 unquantified)
- At least USD 1.51 billion for conditional clean energy through 19 policies (14 quantified and 5 unquantified)
- At least USD 2.50 million for other energy through 6 policies (1 quantified and 5 unquantified)
By energy type, Poland committed at least USD 1.89 billion to oil and gas (at least USD 1.89 billion to unconditional oil and gas).
In addition, Poland committed at least USD 290.34 million to coal (at least USD 290.34 million to unconditional coal).
Further, no public money commitments identified for hydrogen based on fossil fuels.
Finally, Poland committed at least USD 12.48 million to multiple fossil fuels (at least USD 12.48 million to unconditional multiple fossil fuels).
A considerably larger amount of public money committed to supporting the economy and people of Poland through monetary and fiscal policies in response to the crisis may also benefit different elements of the energy sector. However, these values are not available from official legislation and statements and therefore are not included in the database. Meanwhile, in addition to monetary and fiscal measures, the database lists other policies and regulations that can also provide benefits to producers and consumers of different energy types.
These public money commitments are additional to many other government policies that had existed to support different energy types before the COVID19 pandemic.

The photovoltaic installation will have a total capacity of 1.2 MW and will generate savings of approx. 600-700 thousand PLN per year in energy bills. Construction will start this year and is expected to be completed in 2022. The total cost of the project is PLN 7 million. | https://www.cire.pl/item,209898,1,0,0,0,0,0,ponad-3-mln-zl-na-instalacje-fotowoltaiczna-dla-spoldzielni-mieszkaniowej-w-gorzowie-wlkp.html (accessed 11 Jan 2021) |

The source of funding is the Operational Program Infrastructure and Environment 2014-2020, sub-measure 1.6.1. MPEC in Nowy Sącz is the operator of a system that includes energy sources and a heat network for city residents, public institutions, and companies. The planned project involves the construction of a gas boiler for the production of thermal energy to meet year-round heat demand in Nowy Sącz. A modern high-efficiency cogeneration system powered by natural gas will produce 5.85 MW of heat and 6 MW of electricity per year. Greenhouse gas emissions are expected to decrease by approx. 31,496 tons of CO2 / year and primary energy consumption by 171,375 GJ / year. Limiting the use of hard coal is a key goal. The contract for co-financing the construction was signed in Warsaw on December 29, 2020 by the Vice-President of the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management and the President of the Management Board of Miejskie Przedsiębiorstwo Energetyki Cieplnej Sp. z o. o. in Nowy Sącz. The total cost of the investment will be almost PLN 27 million, and its completion is planned for the second quarter of 2023. | http://nfosigw.gov.pl/o-nfosigw/aktualnosci/art,1698,wysokosprawna-kogeneracja-w-nowosadeckim-mpec.html (accessed 4 Jan 2020) |

This funding, which will support the installation of over 22,000 ecological lighting points, was made possible thanks to the "SOWA - outdoor lighting" program. The expected benefits are increased road safety and pedestrian traffic and will contribute to the reduction of dust, greenhouse gas emissions, and other harmful substances such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and carbon monoxide to the atmosphere. A 50% reduction in electricity consumption is also expected. Improvements include the installation of LED lamps, new cable lines and poles, new extension arms, and new lighting fixtures. | http://nfosigw.gov.pl/o-nfosigw/aktualnosci/art,1697,wsparcie-nfosigw-na-modernizacje-oswietlenia-zewnetrznego-w-pieciu-wojewodztwach.html (accessed 4 Jan 2020) |

This agreement complements a 2016 agreement between Orlen and PGNiG, which guarantees Orlen stable gas supplies to its projects until 2027. As part of the terms, PGNiG will ensure supply of natural gas to the power plant by end-2027. This is seen as supporting Orlen's low-emission strategy seeing as a coal-fired power plant was recently constructed in Ostrołęka. While company Enea was initially part of this consortium, it backed out of the project. | https://www.cire.pl/item,209371,1,0,0,0,0,0,orlen-energa-i-pgnig-zbuduja-elektrownie-gazowa-w-ostrolece.html (accessed 28 Dec 2020) |

The new regulations will significantly facilitate the use of the wind energy potential in the Baltic Sea and the development of Polish companies from the maritime economy sector. It is anticipated that the support for investors will be granted for a period of 25 years. The new act introduces a number of improvements. Administrative and legal procedures have been simplified, reducing the time in which investors can implement investments in offshore wind farms. In the first phase of the system's operation, for farms with a total capacity of 5.9 GW, support will be granted by way of an administrative decision by the President of the Energy Regulatory Office. The possibility of entering this system ends on June 30, 2021. In the following years, support will be granted in the formula of competitive auctions. The new act provides that investors will be required to conduct a dialogue with potential suppliers of materials and services for the implementation of offshore wind farms. Polish companies will therefore have the opportunity to become part of the supply chain of services and technologies necessary for the operation of offshore wind farms. The Ministry of Climate and Environment predicts that the new regulations will encourage investors and accelerate the process of transformation of the Polish energy sector into zero-emission energy sources. After 2020, Poland, as well as other EU Member States, are required to generate at least 15% of electricity from renewable sources. | https://www.gov.pl/web/klimat/projekt-ustawy-wspierajacej-morskie-farmy-wiatrowe-przyjety (accessed 30 Nov 2020) |
