PLN 1.26bn from NFOŚiGW for 147 charging points for lorries
NFOŚiGW has granted PLN 1.26bn to Enea, Energa, PGE and Tauron for 147 lorry charging points. The results will be visible at the end of 2029.
The National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management (NFOŚiGW) has allocated substantial funds to build charging infrastructure for electric lorries. The money will go to the biggest players on the energy market.
What will be built with the money
- A total of 147 charging points.
- Total installed capacity: 493 MW.
- Locations: the main roads of the TEN-T network and selected logistics hubs.
Setting the enormous costs against the physical results for still niche electric lorries gives pause for thought.
The other side of the coin
The ministry firmly defends the investment. Poland spends more than PLN 100bn a year on imported fossil fuels. According to the government, the electrification of transport and the expansion of the charging network are the foundation of energy independence, which in the longer term is expected to bring major savings.
