Is Poland
really developing?

01Now

Right now 0 major investments are under way.

Not “someday.” Now. Roads, rail, factories, ports, power plants — all at once, across the country.

Records with status “under construction” or “commissioning”, sorted by momentum (stage × proximity to opening).

02Leap

What we’ve already built.

Not plans — things that stand and work. 64 completed megaprojects worth ~PLN 122 billion, across a dozen fields at once. For scale: motorways and express roads grew 7.2× in one generation (720→5,206 km).

Value of completed projects (status “completed”) by sector — nominal, fixed rate (EUR 4.30 / USD 4.00), prices from various years, not adjusted for inflation. Nuclear and offshore wind are excluded — they arrive here only once delivered. This is “value-by-stage”, not “total cost”. Express roads 720→5,206 km: GDDKiA.

03What’s coming

More openings ahead of us than behind us.

What’s been delivered so far is a fraction of what’s under construction and planned. Sort projects by opening year — and see when the bulk of the wave falls.

Value by opening year (completed → year delivered; the rest → current planned date), nominal (prices from various years, no inflation adjustment), only projects counted toward “value-by-stage”. The “2033+” bar (including nuclear ~192 bn, opening ~2036) exceeds the scale — we show its full value numerically so it doesn’t dominate the axis.

04Honestly

Not everything worked. And it’s good that you can see it.

But as you can see, cancelled or superseded projects are only ~5% of the whole database (12 of 228). The rest is above — standing, under construction, or planned. We show failures with the same source rigour as successes; they’re rarely black-and-white.

And even these are rarely black-and-white: Izera was cancelled but came back with Foxconn; the post-Northvolt factory was restarted by a new owner. Every case is in the database — with full context.
