67 billion PLN (approximately 15.41 billion EUR) allocated for this year, including 3.7 billion PLN (approximately 851 million EUR) for the Clean Air initiative, while 27 billion PLN (approximately 6.21 billion EUR) has already been disbursed.
Highlighted in the Ministry of Funds and Regional Policy's initial summary of KPO expenditures are the development of wind farms, assistance for the thermal modernization of single-family homes, and initiatives for the social economy. This program was activated ten months ago.
Minister Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz stated that EU support has financed both large investments and small projects.
The largest portion of funds has been allocated to the Clean Air program, amounting to 3.7 billion PLN (approximately 851 million EUR), which is intended for the thermal modernization of homes, with the goal of insulating 380,000 houses.
Among the major investments supported by the KPO is the construction of Polish observation satellites, with the first scheduled to be launched next year.
Another significant project is the development of wind farms in the Baltic Sea. Minister Pełczyńska-Nałęcz emphasized that establishing such farms involves a series of other investments.
Poland is set to receive 67 billion PLN this year under the KPO. So far, 27 billion PLN (about 6.21 billion EUR) has been distributed, with an additional 40 billion anticipated to be deposited into national accounts by the end of December.
