Baker McKenzie: KPO will accelerate development in some construction sectors

EU funds from the KPO (Krajowy Plan Odbudowy) are expected to boost development in some construction sectors (railways, green energy) in 2025-2026. The private sector may struggle to access these funds, but some companies like cement plants are using them for CO2 capture technology.

Uncertainties remain about whether Poland will benefit from companies relocating from Asia due to geopolitical tensions. The war in Ukraine has also negatively impacted Polish infrastructure projects, causing financial losses for PKP PLK (national railway company). Despite these challenges, the expert sees opportunities for the private sector to access EU funds for green construction projects.
