Poland
Since the beginning of the COVID19 pandemic in early 2020, Poland has committed at least USD 6.04 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 1.21 billion for unconditional fossil fuels through 5 policies (5 quantified)
- At least USD 3.37 billion for conditional fossil fuels through 2 policies (1 quantified and 1 unquantified)
- At least USD 45.91 million for unconditional clean energy through 5 policies (1 quantified and 4 unquantified)
- At least USD 1.42 billion for conditional clean energy through 15 policies (11 quantified and 4 unquantified)
- Some public money committed for other energy (3 policies with the value of public money unquantified)

By energy type, Poland committed at least USD 1.17 billion to oil and gas (at least USD 1.17 billion to unconditional oil and gas).
In addition, Poland committed at least USD 32.44 million to coal (at least USD 32.44 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 budget - PLN 1.1 billion in subsidies and PLN 200 million in loans - is estimated to help purchase at least 500 electric- or hydrogen-powered buses. This will help popularize the concept of zero-emissions in transport. Calls for proposals will occur in three phases, in 202, 2022, and 2023. Co-financing will be at 80% of eligible costs and 90% for hydrogen buses given the nature of the technology. Costs incurred between 1 Oct 2020 and 31 Dec 2025 are eligible, or until 31 Dec 2035 for leases. | https://www.gov.pl/web/klimat/zielone-swiatlo-dla-zielonego-transportu-publicznego (accessed 16 Nov 2020) |

The liquidation of individual mines will occur in phases between 2021 and 2049. Coal miners are guaranteed their jobs until retirement; if this is not possible, they will be covered by a social protection plan. While this is a step in the right direction for the country, the agreement indicates that the state will continue to subsidize coal until 2049. For this reason, it is unclear whether the EC wil sign off on this plan (the EC must approve of the state aid plans for the policy to come into effect). The agreement does not cover coking coal mines in Silesia nor coal mining activities in Eastern Poland. | https://www.gov.pl/web/aktywa-panstwowe/porozumienie-w-sprawie-transformacji-i-przyszlosci-gornictwa-podpisane (accessed 28 Sep 2020); https://www.cire.pl/item,204893,1,0,0,0,0,0,podpisano-porozumienie-w-sprawie-zasad-i-tempa-transformacji-gornictwa-.html (accessed 28 Sep 2020) |
