Applicant restrictionExact Katowice route pl_wfosigw_katowice:104292.

Under current Katowice general rules, the Fund will not contract with entities that fail environmental-fee/penalty obligations or have due Fund liabilities under collection proceedings; it may adjust form or amount after economic analysis. The special programme applies the version in force on the financing decision date.

Check the general-rule version at decision time.

Applicant typeExact Katowice route pl_wfosigw_katowice:104292.

The special programme allows local-government units and their unions, water and wastewater enterprises, or entities responsible for water/wastewater tasks that provide public services while carrying out local-government own tasks.

The public-service-provider class is tied to water/sewage tasks and local-government own tasks; catalogue tags alone do not expand eligibility.

Application restrictionExact Katowice route pl_wfosigw_katowice:104292.

The current route links distinct application archives for sewer, wastewater treatment plant, water network, water-treatment station, retention, and other projects; paper applications must not be stapled, bound or placed in folders/sleeves, while e-Delivery is available under the linked instructions.

The full exact supporting annex set depends on project category and the foreign application; archive member lists preserve current and older revisions.

Application restrictionExact Katowice route pl_wfosigw_katowice:104292.

The exact route was shown open in the 23 October 2026 catalogue capture. The page gives an intake from 6 February 2026 through 29 October 2027 and reserves the Fund’s right to suspend or end intake earlier.

Status is bound to 23 October 2026 capture; future current availability and remaining pool not verified.

Application restrictionExact Katowice route pl_wfosigw_katowice:104292.

The route applies to projects within the 2021–2027 foreign-financing perspective that sought foreign financing and received positive formal and substantive assessment but were not funded due to lack of available funds, such as placement on a reserve list. The programme runs 2026–2030.

The exact foreign call/round and its evaluation result must match the funded project proposal; a general unsuccessful application is insufficient.

Application restrictionExact Katowice route pl_wfosigw_katowice:104292.

The Katowice proposal must have the same project scope as the foreign funding application and include documentation proving a positive formal and substantive assessment with no award due to lack of funds in that foreign competition.

This is the programme’s defining eligibility gate; preserve the foreign scheme, exact call and proposed scope as route-specific provenance.

Eligible project scopeExact Katowice route pl_wfosigw_katowice:104292.

Only water-management or wastewater projects that match the foreign application’s project scope qualify. The current route page links separate evidence/forms for sewer, treatment plant, water network, water-treatment station, retention, and other water/sewage projects, but the special programme leaves detailed eligibility and cost types tied to the specific foreign funding source.

Do not reuse one project-type cost rule across the different linked archives without checking the corresponding project and foreign-call source.

Other conditionCurrent General Rules Resolution 49/2026 Table 3 §§3.1 and 3.3.1–3.3.3, subject to decision-date version rule.

A borrower may request partial remission only if the loan was not reimbursed from public funds, including EU funds, and all conditions apply together: timely contractual completion and settlement; achievement of planned ecological and material effects by contractual deadlines; expiry of project durability; timely repayment of at least 50% of the loan amount used (early repayment does not qualify); and compliance with statutory fees, penalties and obligations to the Fund. The decision is discretionary, made by the competent Fund body, and cannot exceed actual outstanding obligations under that loan as of the application date. These provisions are conditional general rules only if a specific application receives a remissible loan and the Fund approves remission. The route permits either a remissible or non-remissible loan; subtype is not established, and these clauses do not promise route-wide benefit.

Other conditionCurrent General Rules Resolution 49/2026 Table 3 §3.2.1(a), conditional only.

One alternative is up to 10% of the loan amount used, capped at PLN 0.2 million, without a requirement to use the remitted amount for a new ecological task. These provisions are conditional general rules only if a specific application receives a remissible loan and the Fund approves remission. The route permits either a remissible or non-remissible loan; subtype is not established, and these clauses do not promise route-wide benefit.

These provisions are conditional general rules only if a specific application receives a remissible loan and the Fund approves remission. The route permits either a remissible or non-remissible loan; subtype is not established, and these clauses do not promise route-wide benefit.

Other conditionCurrent General Rules Resolution 49/2026 Table 3 §3.2.1(b), conditional only.

The alternative is up to 35% of the loan amount used, capped at PLN 4 million, only if the remitted amount is used for a new ecological task consistent with the Environmental Protection Law. The alternatives are not additive. These provisions are conditional general rules only if a specific application receives a remissible loan and the Fund approves remission. The route permits either a remissible or non-remissible loan; subtype is not established, and these clauses do not promise route-wide benefit.

Other conditionExact Katowice route pl_wfosigw_katowice:104292.

For unregulated matters, the Katowice general funding rules in force on the date of the funding decision apply. Consequently, the April 2026 general rules cannot be frozen as definitive for every application if the decision occurs under a later version.

Decision date is not known; later rule version should be rechecked before an award.

Other conditionExact Katowice route pl_wfosigw_katowice:104292.

A grant tranche can be disbursed only when a loan tranche at least equal to that grant tranche is disbursed.

Apply per tranche as written; the loan may be remissible or non-remissible.

Other conditionExact Katowice route pl_wfosigw_katowice:104292.

Project support combines a grant with either a remissible or non-remissible loan. The grant may be up to 30% of eligible costs and requires a loan that fills the financing up to 100% of eligible project costs. Combined grant-plus-loan support may not exceed 100% of eligible costs. The general rules currently provide conditional interest, repayment and remission terms by loan branch; these are not fixed route promises because the applicable decision-date rules and specific loan subtype are unknown.

The route permits either a remissible or non-remissible loan; which branch will apply to a particular application is unresolved. Loan-specific current general rules are conditional and subject to the version in force at the financing decision. No branch is represented as guaranteed for every route applicant.

Other conditionExact Katowice route pl_wfosigw_katowice:104292.

The applicant must declare that project expenses have not been, are not being and will not be double-financed from other sources. If another non-repayable grant is obtained, the Katowice grant must be returned. Termination of the loan contract simultaneously terminates the grant contract.

The required no-double-financing declaration covers project expenses; no separate tolerance or overlap exception is stated in these special rules.

Other conditionCurrent General Rules Resolution 49/2026 Table 3 §3.4, conditional only.

The general rules exclude remission for loans granted to perform a task arising from an administrative order to remove environmental contamination. Applicability depends on the actual task and order; this does not categorically exclude the route. These provisions are conditional general rules only if a specific application receives a remissible loan and the Fund approves remission. The route permits either a remissible or non-remissible loan; subtype is not established, and these clauses do not promise route-wide benefit.

These provisions are conditional general rules only if a specific application receives a remissible loan and the Fund approves remission. The route permits either a remissible or non-remissible loan; subtype is not established, and these clauses do not promise route-wide benefit.

Other conditionCurrent General Rules Resolution 49/2026 Table 3 §3.3.5, conditional only.

A remission request does not suspend current loan payments. Under a separate remission agreement, the Fund returns instalments paid after the request date without interest on returned amounts. These provisions are conditional general rules only if a specific application receives a remissible loan and the Fund approves remission. The route permits either a remissible or non-remissible loan; subtype is not established, and these clauses do not promise route-wide benefit.

These provisions are conditional general rules only if a specific application receives a remissible loan and the Fund approves remission. The route permits either a remissible or non-remissible loan; subtype is not established, and these clauses do not promise route-wide benefit.

Other conditionCurrent General Rules Resolution 49/2026 Table 3 §§3.2.2–3.2.3, conditional only.

The remission is reduced by any Fund grant used for the same task. The balance is reduced by 15% for amendments reducing specified ecological effects in sewer connections, asbestos-disposal tasks, or municipal low-emission programmes; by 30% for amendments reducing other planned ecological effects; by 5% for each required disbursement, final settlement, or effect-confirmation document filed more than 30 days late; and by 5% for each principal instalment paid more than 30 days late. These provisions are conditional general rules only if a specific application receives a remissible loan and the Fund approves remission. The route permits either a remissible or non-remissible loan; subtype is not established, and these clauses do not promise route-wide benefit.

Other conditionExact Katowice route pl_wfosigw_katowice:104292.

The linked Katowice signage rules require an information board only for construction lasting over six months and a commemorative plaque within 30 days after the contract-specified completion date.

Post-award publicity conditions do not establish eligible publicity costs or staffing.

Other conditionExact Katowice route pl_wfosigw_katowice:104292.

Eligible costs are costs incurred after filing the Katowice Fund application, expanded to include the costs eligible under the foreign source the applicant sought; the cost window ends 31 December 2030.

The exact cost catalogue and treatment of personnel are source-specific to the foreign funding scheme and its application.

Other conditionExact Katowice route pl_wfosigw_katowice:104292.

The current route links public-aid documentation. The applicable aid category and rate are not universal in this route and require the specific applicant, project and foreign funding scheme to be checked.

Archived public-aid forms are dated; do not infer a current aid rate from their presence.

Staff restrictionExact Katowice route pl_wfosigw_katowice:104292.

The Katowice special programme does not state job titles, salaries, headcounts, recruitment commitments or a universal local eligible-cost catalogue. It incorporates cost categories eligible under the specific foreign funding source; because the applicant’s foreign scheme and exact call are project-specific, payroll and detailed cost eligibility remain unknown from this generic route alone.

No staff role or compensation is inferred from the applicant enterprise, archive forms, or generic water/sewage project scope.

Funding intensity, maximumGrant component only.

30 percent of eligible project costs

Grant component only; the loan fills the total financing structure subject to the overall 100% limit.

Funding intensity, maximumTotal support under exact programme.

100 percent of eligible project costs

This is the combined grant-plus-loan intensity ceiling; grant-only intensity is separately capped at 30%.

Grace period, maximumGeneral Rules Resolution 49/2026 Table 1 §1.4.1(c)–(d), conditional standard loan terms; recheck version at financing decision.

18 months after contractual task-completion date

Grace may not exceed 18 months after the task-completion date set in the agreement; repayment starts no earlier than six months after that date. Bridge loans are excluded and the actual schedule is contractual. These are conditional general rules in the version currently retained, subject to the special programme’s rule that the general rules in force on the financing-decision date govern unregulated matters. The route permits either loan subtype; no particular applicant’s branch or aid category is determined.

Loan interest, minimumGeneral Rules Resolution 49/2026 Table 1 §§1.3.3, 1.3.5–1.3.7, conditional branch; recheck version at financing decision.

1.5 percent per annum minimum

Only the non-remissible-loan branch: standard variable interest is 0.40 × the bill-rediscount rate, with a 1.5% annual floor. Public-aid rules may lead to a base-rate-plus-margin calculation, still subject to the corresponding minimum; the reference rate is set at agreement and adjusted monthly. These are conditional general rules in the version currently retained, subject to the special programme’s rule that the general rules in force on the financing-decision date govern unregulated matters. The route permits either loan subtype; no particular applicant’s branch or aid category is determined.

Loan interest, minimumGeneral Rules Resolution 49/2026 Table 1 §§1.3.2, 1.3.4–1.3.7, conditional branch; recheck version at financing decision.

3 percent per annum minimum; 2% applies to qualifying municipalities

Only the remissible-loan branch: standard variable interest is 0.80 × the bill-rediscount rate, with a 3% annual floor; qualifying municipalities and counties entitled to the equalisation subsidy in the application year have a 2% floor. Public-aid rules may use base rate plus margin while preserving the applicable minimum. The municipality condition and subtype are not resolved for this route. These are conditional general rules in the version currently retained, subject to the special programme’s rule that the general rules in force on the financing-decision date govern unregulated matters. The route permits either loan subtype; no particular applicant’s branch or aid category is determined.

Loan partial remission, maximum amountCurrent General Rules Resolution 49/2026, Table 3 §3.2.1(a), the 10% remission alternative; absolute cap paired with the 10% of amount-used share; general and conditional only, not a route-specific entitlement.

PLN 200,000

Conditional current General Rules Resolution 49/2026 provisions only apply if this particular route results in a remissible loan and the Fund approves remission.

The Fund decision is discretionary and cannot exceed actual outstanding obligations on the application date. Any Fund grant for the same task offsets remission under §3.2.2 and reductions under §3.2.3 apply. The amount is the PLN 0.2 million ceiling for this alternative.

Loan partial remission, maximum amountCurrent General Rules Resolution 49/2026, Table 3 §3.2.1(b), the 35% remission alternative; absolute cap paired with the 35% of amount-used share; general and conditional only, not a route-specific entitlement.

The Fund decision is discretionary and cannot exceed actual outstanding obligations on the application date. Any Fund grant for the same task offsets remission under §3.2.2 and reductions under §3.2.3 apply. This alternative requires the forgiven amount to fund a new ecological task consistent with the Environmental Protection Law.

Repayment required before remission, minimumCurrent General Rules Resolution 49/2026, Table 3 §3.1(d), minimum share of amount used that must be repaid on time before a remission request; general and conditional only, not a route-specific entitlement.

The Fund decision is discretionary and cannot exceed actual outstanding obligations on the application date. Any Fund grant for the same task offsets remission under §3.2.2 and reductions under §3.2.3 apply. The typed value is a minimum threshold, not an amount of remission.

Loan term, maximumGeneral Rules Resolution 49/2026 Table 1 §1.4.1(a)–(b), conditional standard loan terms; recheck version at financing decision.

240 months from contractual task-completion date, including grace

The contractual period is 4–20 years measured from the task-completion date in the contract and includes grace. At least half the loan must be scheduled for repayment over at least half the repayment period. Bridge loans are excluded. The actual schedule follows financial analysis, applicable aid rules and the agreement. These are conditional general rules in the version currently retained, subject to the special programme’s rule that the general rules in force on the financing-decision date govern unregulated matters. The route permits either loan subtype; no particular applicant’s branch or aid category is determined.
