The World Bank's board of executive directors has approved a single tranche EUR 750mn loan for Poland, with a view to support the Polish government's programme to: decrease actual final energy consumption by 9% by 2016 and reach a 20% reduction target by 2020 compared to business as usual, the World bank has announced. The loan's other goal is to help Poland increase the share of renewable energy in final energy consumption to 15.0% by 2020.
