CATF: Poland’s NECP raises ambition, but its success depends on delivering clean firm power alongside renewables
Poland published its updated National Energy and Climate Plan. CATF’s initial assessment finds that although the plan shows progress, it still falls short of its potential to accelerate the deployment of clean energy technologies, with implications for Poland’s contribution to the EU’s 2030 targets and 2050 climate neutrality goal. Why…
