The Large Infrastructure Operational Programme (POIM)

The Large Infrastructure Operational Programme (POIM) was developed to respond to Romania's development needs identified in the 2014-2020 Partnership Agreement and in line with the Common Strategic Framework and the European Commission's Position Paper. The POIM strategy is geared towards the Europe 2020 Strategy objectives, in correlation with the National Reform Programme and the Country Specific Recommendations, focusing on sustainable growth by promoting a low carbon economy through energy efficiency measures and the promotion of green energy, as well as by promoting environmentally friendly modes of transport and more efficient use of resources.

The funding priorities set out in POIM contribute to the overall objective of the Partnership Agreement by directly addressing two of the five development challenges identified at national level: infrastructure and resources.

POIM finances activities in four sectors: transport infrastructure, environmental protection, risk management and adaptation to climate change, energy and energy efficiency, contributing to the Union Strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth.

POIM has a financial allocation of approx. 11.8 billion, of which:

€6.94 billion Cohesion Fund
2.48 billion European Regional Development Fund
€2.46 billion Co-financing

Ongoing projects are under Priority Axis 10 - Protecting the health of the population in the context of the health crisis caused by COVID-19, increasing energy efficiency and use of renewable energy sources - Specific objective 10.2 Increasing energy efficiency and use of renewable energy sources to prepare for a green, digital and resilient recovery of the economy. The amount allocated for the whole Axis 10 is 700.057.177,00 euro of which EU (ERDF - REACT EU) - 700.057.177,00 euro.
