EIB renewable energy investments signed in 2025 are expected to provide clean electricity for the equivalent of 5.6 million households.

Omissions

• The 5.6 million households figure is attributed in the EIB's own materials to Poland's wind projects specifically ('In Poland alone'), not to the EIB's entire renewable energy portfolio for 2025; EIB President Nadia Calviño described the Poland projects as around one third of the total household equivalent.
• The 56,000 km figure (construct or upgrade power lines) is confirmed by the EIB Group 2025 annual results press release.
• EIB annual results for 2025 were published in early 2026, before the session date of 2026-07-06, so the MEP could have known these figures.
• The exact EU-wide household equivalent for all 2025 EIB renewable energy investments could not be quantified from primary sources found (only the Poland-specific 5.6 million figure).
