Commission annex amending Slovakia recovery and resilience plan

The European Commission has submitted an annex amending the implementing decision on the assessment of Slovakia’s recovery and resilience plan (COM(2026)246 annex).

• Main action: The Annex from the European Commission updates the Council Implementing Decision approving Slovakia’s Recovery and Resilience Plan, specifying reforms, investments, milestones and targets across components (energy, buildings, transport, industry decarbonisation, adaptation, education, health, justice, digitalisation and REPowerEU). Key timelines and quantitative targets are included (e.g. at least 95 MW new renewable electricity capacity by Q2 2026; 1 500 public recharging points by Q2 2026; 1263 MW additional RES connection capacity in distribution by Q2 2026). The document also sets the schedule of payment instalments (First instalment: EUR 458,277,000, Second: EUR 814,715,000, Third through Ninth instalments listed) and the overall plan cost.

• Context and details: The Annex details legislative reforms (e.g. amendment of energy, waste, public procurement and insolvency laws), implementation bodies (notably establishment/role of NIKA), and concrete investment ceilings and deliverables (e.g. investment cap of EUR 12,000,000 for hydropower balancing capacity support; hardware procurement amounts for public administration). It specifies monitoring, reporting and data access arrangements for the Commission and ties implementation to Do-No-Significant-Harm (DNSH) guidance.
