Brussels \u2013 Denmark is the first country in the European Union to receive the final payment<\/a> under the Recovery and Resiliency Facility (RRF)<\/a>, the main financial instrument of the NextGenerationEU <\/a>package with its Recovery Fund. The European Commission today (31 July) disbursed a tranche of 359 million euros, bringing the total funds received by Copenhagen through the plan <\/strong> to 1.63 billion euros. <\/p>\n

The Danish government applied for the final tranche on 21 May. It received the green light from the European Commission<\/a> on 30 June 2026<\/strong>, following verification that the targets and reforms set out in the national plan had been met.<\/p>\n

Denmark\u2019s programmes include measures to reduce CO\u2082 emissions<\/strong> in the agricultural sector and to support the development of climate technologies<\/strong>. Copenhagen will also allocate European funds to reforms and investments aimed at accelerating the energy transition<\/strong>, reducing dependence on fossil fuels, and encouraging the use of electric vehicles. A significant proportion of the funds will also be used to improve the energy efficiency of buildings<\/strong>: around 28,000 homes will replace their oil or gas-fired heating systems with heat pumps or be connected to district heating networks. Finally, the plan provides for investments to support sustainable growth<\/strong> and the competitiveness of the Danish economy.<\/p>\n

The Recovery and Resilience Facility<\/a>, established as part of NextGenerationEU, was set up to mitigate the economic and social consequences of the coronavirus pandemic<\/strong> and to support Member States in moving towards more sustainable, resilient economies that are prepared for the challenges of the twin green and digital transitions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
