Commission’s assessment of Poland’s National Energy and Climate Plan shows increased ambition closing in on 2030 targets
The Commission today published its assessment of the final updated National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) of Poland, which shows an increased ambition compared to its draft plan.
Supportive of the positive developments towards the 2030 climate and energy targets, the Commission encourages the country to ensure its full implementation. The assessment found the country on track to meet the national 2030 targets to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions under the Effort Sharing Regulation. In addition, Poland’s final plan is now aligned with the EU’s renewable energy and energy efficiency targets respectively for 2030.
Full implementation of the plan can lead Poland to achieve its national climate and energy targets for 2030 while making an important contribution to staying the course towards the EU’s 2040 and 2050 climate targets. Today’s assessment provides the necessary guidance to assist the country in this endevour and facilitate implementation. Although carbon removals are expected to increase significantly, more efforts are needed in the Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) sector. Stronger measures are equally necessary in the buildings sector to secure more energy savings and to phase out fossil fuel subsidies.
With today’s publication, all 2030 national energy and climate plans received from Member States have now been updated and assessed, complementing the EU-wide assessment published on 28 May 2025. The Commission will continue to monitor progress towards the delivery of the 2030 targets and to work with Member States as they address remaining gaps, mobilise funding (including through the EU and national budget), and deliver appropriate actions.
