The National Energy and Climate (ENCP) Plan is a ten-year integrated document mandated by the European Union to each of its member states in order for the EU to meet its overall greenhouse gases emissions targets.  The Energy and Climate Plan addresses all five dimensions of the EU Energy Union: decarbonisation, energy efficiency, energy security, internal energy markets and research, innovation and competitiveness.

The plans establishes the following central goals : 1)  the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in sectors not covered by the ETS system, to solve the problem of air quality (emissions of pollutants in transport and by individual heat sources), to support renewable energy sources, to increase the use of advanced biofuels; 2)  to develop a long-term strategy for the renovation of domestic stocks of residential and non-residential buildings, public and private, to ensure energy efficiency; 3) to increase diversification of the energy mix and diversification of directions of supplies of imported fuels; 4) to increase the availability of current cross-border interconnections and integrate the national natural gas transmission system with the systems of Central and Eastern Europe and the countries of the Baltic Sea region; 5) to increase expenditure on research and development in Poland.
