TITLE I — SHORT TITLE,, FINDINGS, AND DECLARATIONS
ARTICLE 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the "Poland Productive Capacity Authority and Energy Security Act 2026" (Ustawa z 2026 r. o Polskim Urzędzie Zdolności Produkcyjnej i Bezpieczeństwie Energetycznym).
ARTICLE 2. FINDINGS.
The Sejm finds:
FINDING 1 — Poland faces a coupled productive-capacity and energy- security transition of historical magnitude. The Polish electricity generation mix in 2024 remained approximately 57% coal (lignite plus hard coal), the highest coal share in the European Union, and Poland remains the only EU member state without a coal phase-out date enshrined in law. The 2024 National Energy and Climate Plan draft envisages lignite exit by 2044 and hard coal exit by 2049, implicating tens of thousands of Polish coal-region workers in Śląskie, Małopolskie, Wielkopolskie, Łódzkie, and Dolnośląskie voivodeships. Without a productive-capacity instrument to absorb the transition workforce into structured productive employment, the political coalition required to phase out coal cannot be assembled or maintained. This Act provides that instrument.
FINDING 2 — Poland is simultaneously initiating its first nuclear power programme. The Westinghouse-Bechtel-PEJ Engineering Development Agreement for the three-unit AP1000 project at Choczewo was signed 28 April 2025. EU state aid was approved 9 December 2025. The EXIM Bank credit agreement was signed February 2026. The project received the 2026 Energy Dominance Deal of the Year award on 30 April 2026. The Polish AP1000 programme is the largest single- package civilian-nuclear project in European Union new build. The ORLEN-Synthos Green Energy and GE Hitachi BWRX-300 small-modular- reactor programmes are advancing in parallel. This Act provides the institutional framework for the Polish nuclear-build workforce to be coordinated with the coal-region-transition workforce within a single productive-capacity instrument.
FINDING 3 — Poland already operates the load-bearing chassis required for a productive-capacity authority at sovereign scale. Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego, the State-Treasury-owned development bank, holds PLN 268.99 billion in total assets and PLN 41 billion in equity (4th largest bank in Poland, 8.00% market share, +20.97% asset growth in 2024), and distributes PLN 140 billion of Krajowy Plan Odbudowy funds. Polski Fundusz Rozwoju operates the diversified state development-finance chassis with multiple subsidiaries. The Krajowy Plan Odbudowy itself provides Poland with €59.8 billion / PLN 255 billion of EU NextGenerationEU funding. The Sejm and the Polish public administration have the standing capacity to charter and operate this Authority on existing infrastructure.
FINDING 4 — Poland already operates universal social-distribution infrastructure capable of administering the Personal Productive Asset entitlement. The 800+ Family child benefit (PLN 800 per child per month to age 18, raised from PLN 500 effective 1 January 2024) administered by ZUS through the PESEL identification system reaches every eligible Polish ordinarily-resident household. The 13th and 14th annual pension supplements established in 2019 and 2020 respectively demonstrate Poland's capacity to administer additional annual distributions on top of the standing benefit chassis. The Personal Productive Asset annual distribution under this Act uses the same ZUS + PESEL infrastructure without requiring new administrative machinery.
FINDING 5 — Article 20 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland declares the Polish economic system to be a social market economy based on the freedom of economic activity, private ownership, and solidarity, dialogue and cooperation between social partners. The Productive Capacity Authority is consistent with each element of Article 20: it operates within the social market economy framework; it does not nationalise or displace private ownership; it operates on solidarity (the post-Solidarność principle codified in Article 20); and it operates through dialogue and cooperation between social partners (trade unions, employer associations, cooperative societies, and the State Treasury).
FINDING 6 — The historical apoplexy thesis (Cooper, Historical Apoplexy 2025-2026) names the civilizational disease of forgetting solved problems. Poland has its own historical proof, in the form of Eugeniusz Kwiatkowski's Central Industrial District (Centralny Okręg Przemysłowy, 1936-1939), that the Polish state can charter and build large-scale productive infrastructure from scratch in compressed timeframes. Stalowa Wola, Rzeszów, Mielec, Dębica, and the Polish armaments, metallurgical, and aviation industries were built within three years on the COP programme. The Authority restores that operational confidence at the post-replication- threshold scale.
FINDING 7 — Replication-threshold humanoid robotic manufacturing technology arrived in Q4 2025 through Q2 2026 (see Verification Notes). The historical horizon for full robotic-built-by-robotic manufacturing has compressed from generational to year-over-year. Poland hosts material engineering capacity (Politechnika Warszawska, AGH Akademia Górniczo-Hutnicza, Politechnika Wrocławska, Politechnika Łódzka, Politechnika Śląska), automotive-sector expertise (Volkswagen, Stellantis, Toyota in Polish plants), white- goods manufacturing (Whirlpool, Bosch, LG), and rapidly growing IT-services sector. Poland is positioned to operate this technology under Polish productive-capacity infrastructure rather than to import the goods the technology will produce.
FINDING 8 — Solidarność (the Independent Self-Governing Trade Union Solidarity), founded 17 September 1980 in the Gdańsk Shipyard with approximately 10 million members at peak in 1981, is the historical-political anchor of the Polish "solidarity" principle in Article 20. The Authority is constituted as the modern operational expression of that solidarity principle: the means by which Poland operates productive-capacity infrastructure for the common good of all Polish citizens, in the language of Article 1 of the Constitution, "a common good of all its citizens."
FINDING 9 — Saint John Paul II's encyclical Laborem Exercens (1981) establishes the primacy of labour over capital. Centesimus Annus (1991) §43 recognises the validity of the market while rejecting the reduction of the human person to the economic. The Productive Capacity Authority and the Civic Robot Corps of the Republic of Poland together translate the Polish Catholic social teaching framework into operational infrastructure: replication-threshold technology serves human productive capacity, the human person is not reduced to the economic, and labour retains primacy as the public-good Civic Robot Corps directs robotic capacity to human ends.
FINDING 10 — The European Union just-transition framework (including the Just Transition Fund, the Modernisation Fund, the Innovation Fund, and the 2025 KPO revision which created the Security and Defence Fund / FBiO of PLN 25 billion) provides external co-financing capacity for the Polish productive-capacity and energy-transition programme. Coordination with EU funding lines is operational, not aspirational; the Authority operates within the existing EU funding architecture as a Polish-chartered instrument.
ARTICLE 3. DECLARATIONS.
DECLARATION 1 — PERSONAL PRODUCTIVE ASSET ENTITLEMENT. The Sejm declares that every ordinarily-resident Polish citizen, and every qualifying foreign citizen holding a PESEL number, shall enjoy as a matter of statutory right under this Act a Personal Productive Asset entitlement consisting of one non-transferable Productive Capacity Share, the annual distribution of dividends from inter- voivodeship pooled productive-capacity revenue, and access to at- cost basic-needs goods produced by the Civic Robot Corps of the Republic of Poland.
DECLARATION 2 — EXISTING POLISH INSTITUTIONS UNAFFECTED. The Sejm declares that nothing in this Act affects the establishment, functions, governance, or operation of:

DECLARATION 3 — NO NEW POLISH TAXATION. The Sejm declares that no new Polish income tax (PIT), corporate income tax (CIT), value added tax (VAT), excise duty (akcyza), or other Polish tax of any kind is established, extended, or increased by this Act for the funding of the Authority. The Authority is funded through existing Polish fiscal infrastructure as enumerated in Title III.
DECLARATION 4 — VOIVODESHIP AND LOCAL-GOVERNMENT AUTONOMY RESPECTED. The Sejm declares that nothing in this Act diminishes the constitutional and statutory autonomy of the sixteen voivodeships, their Sejmiks, their Marshals, the powiats, the gminas, or other Polish local-government units. The Voivodeship Delivery Units of the Authority under Title IV operate in coordination with, not in displacement of, voivodeship and local- government structures.

person who acquires ordinary residence in the Republic of
Poland after the effective date and obtains a PESEL
number, upon completion of a one-year ordinary-residence
period, including holders of Karta Polaka.
(2) Productive Capacity Shares are non-transferable. They may not
be sold, pledged, assigned, used as collateral, gifted, or in
any other manner conveyed to any other person.
(3) A Productive Capacity Share may be inherited by an
ordinarily-resident eligible person through ordinary Polish
inheritance law.
(4) A Productive Capacity Share held by a person who ceases to be
ordinarily resident in the Republic of Poland shall be held

consistent with the Polish State Treasury asset-management
standards.
(4) Investment returns on the Reserve, less reasonable management
costs, are available to the Authority for operating use.
ARTICLE 15. ANNUAL DISTRIBUTION TO SHAREHOLDERS.
(1) Seventy per cent (70%) of all productive-capacity revenue
received by each Voivodeship Delivery Unit under Title IV
shall be remitted to the Authority for inter-voivodeship
pooling. Each Voivodeship Delivery Unit retains the remaining
thirty per cent (30%) for voivodeship-level operations and
reserves.
(2) Seventy-five per cent (75%) of the inter-voivodeship pool
established under subsection (1) shall be distributed annually
to Productive Capacity Shareholders, equally per share,
through the existing infrastructure of Zakład Ubezpieczeń
Społecznych (ZUS), coordinated with the 800+ Family child
benefit and 13th/14th annual pension supplement distribution
chassis.
(3) The remaining twenty-five per cent (25%) of the inter-
voivodeship pool is retained by the Authority for operating
reserves, BGK debt repayment, transfers to the Permanent
Reserve under Article 14, and expansion capital.
(4) The annual distribution under subsection (2) shall be made on
such date in each year as the Authority determines, with a
target date of December (Boże Narodzenie / Christmas period)
in each year, consistent with the Polish 13th-pension
distribution timing.
(5) The Productive Capacity Dividend distribution shall not be
treated as income for the purposes of:
(a) The 800+ Family child benefit;
(b) State Pension and 13th/14th pension supplements;
(c) Social-assistance benefits administered by Local Social
Welfare Centres (OPS);
and shall be taxable for income-tax purposes on the standard
investment-income basis under Polish tax law as the Minister
of Finance may by rozporządzenie provide.
TITLE IV — VOIVODESHIP DELIVERY UNITS
ARTICLE 16. SIXTEEN VOIVODESHIP DELIVERY UNITS.
(1) The Authority establishes sixteen Voivodeship Delivery Units
(Wojewódzkie Jednostki Wykonawcze, WJW), one in each
voivodeship of the Republic of Poland:
(a) WJW Dolnośląski (Wrocław);
(b) WJW Kujawsko-Pomorski (Toruń / Bydgoszcz);
(c) WJW Lubelski (Lublin);
(d) WJW Lubuski (Gorzów Wielkopolski / Zielona Góra);

(n) WJW Warmińsko-Mazurski (Olsztyn);
(o) WJW Wielkopolski (Poznań);
(p) WJW Zachodniopomorski (Szczecin).
(2) Each WJW operates within the legal framework of the
voivodeship and the Republic of Poland, coordinated with the
Marshal of the voivodeship, the Sejmik of the voivodeship,
and the local-government units of the powiats and gminas
within the voivodeship.
(3) Each WJW has a Director appointed by the Management Board of
the Authority on the advice of the Marshal of the voivodeship.
(4) Each WJW operates the Voivodeship Civic Robot Corps brigade
under Title V, the at-cost goods distribution network under
Title V, the voivodeship-level energy coordination under
Title VI, and such other functions as the Management Board of
the Authority assigns.
TITLE V — CIVIC ROBOT CORPS OF THE REPUBLIC OF POLAND
ARTICLE 17. ESTABLISHMENT.
(1) There is hereby established within the Authority a public-
good labour body to be known as the "Civic Robot Corps of the
Republic of Poland" (Obywatelski Korpus Robotów Rzeczypospolitej
Polskiej, OKR-RP, "the Corps").
(2) The Corps operates replication-threshold robotic manufacturing
equipment owned by the Authority for the production of goods
and services delivered at-cost to ordinarily-resident
individuals holding Personal Productive Asset entitlements
under Title III.
ARTICLE 18. SERVICE LINES.
The Corps shall operate the following service lines, organised by Voivodeship Delivery Unit but coordinated Authority-wide:
(a) AT-COST GOODS PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION. Production and at-
cost distribution of basic-needs goods including non-perishable
food, frozen food, basic clothing, hand tools, household
goods, educational supplies, and basic baby and child supplies,
on the basic-tier specification set by the Authority and
coordinated where appropriate with PSS Społem and other Polish
cooperative societies under partnership arrangements.
(b) COAL-REGION TRANSITION SERVICE. The Corps maintains a
Coal-Region Transition Service for the structured absorption
of workers from the lignite mines, hard-coal mines, and coal-
fired generation facilities of Śląskie, Małopolskie,
Wielkopolskie, Łódzkie, and Dolnośląskie voivodeships as
those facilities phase out under the 2021 Polish Coal-Industry
Social Contract and subsequent agreements. The Service
provides re-training, transitional employment at no reduction
in wages or pension contribution, geographic-relocation
support, and placement in Corps operations, in coordination
with the trade unions party to the 2021 Social Contract.
(c) RURAL DISTRIBUTION. Distribution to small rural villages and
underserved gminas in eastern, north-eastern, and southern
Polish rural areas, in coordination with the Polish Post
Office (Poczta Polska) and the Marshal of the voivodeship.
(d) AGRICULTURAL VALUE-ADDED PROCESSING. Coordination with the
Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the National
Support Centre for Agriculture (Krajowy Ośrodek Wsparcia
Rolnictwa, KOWR), the Agricultural Social Insurance Fund
(KRUS), and Polish agricultural-cooperative associations for
Corps-operated value-added processing of Polish agricultural
output.
(e) NUCLEAR-BUILD WORKFORCE SUPPORT. Coordination with Polskie
Elektrownie Jądrowe (PEJ), Westinghouse Electric, Bechtel,
and Polish supplier-industry firms (Mostostal, Polimex Mostostal,
and others) for Corps-operated training, accommodation,
transport, and at-cost distribution support of the nuclear-
build workforce at the Choczewo site and any subsequent Polish
nuclear sites.
(f) RENEWABLE-ENERGY DEPLOYMENT. Coordination with the Polish
offshore-wind consortia (PGE, Orlen, Equinor, Iberdrola,
Ocean Winds, RWE, and other developers), with Polish solar
PV installers, and with Polish hydrogen-economy projects, for
Corps-operated deployment and maintenance services.
(g) HEALTHCARE LOGISTICS SUPPORT. Coordination with the National
Health Fund (NFZ), Polish hospital and outpatient clinic
networks, and the Polish Red Cross (Polski Czerwony Krzyż) for
Corps-operated logistical support of the Polish healthcare
supply chain at the boundary where productive-capacity
infrastructure can reduce healthcare supply costs. The Corps
does not deliver clinical services, which remain within the
NFZ and the Polish health system.
(h) DEFENCE-INDUSTRY DUAL-USE COORDINATION. Coordination with the
Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa (Polish Armaments Group) for Corps-
operated dual-use infrastructure (transport, distribution,
fabrication) that supports both civilian productive-capacity
and defence-industry resilience, consistent with the June 2025
KPO revision establishing the Security and Defence Fund.
ARTICLE 19. HUMAN WORKFORCE.
(1) The Corps employs a human workforce of Polish ordinarily-
resident individuals, preferentially recruited from the
voivodeship in which the work is performed, with explicit
priority for workers transitioning from the coal sector under
Article 18(b).
(2) The Corps shall:
(a) Maintain a wage floor of 120% of the Polish national
minimum wage (wynagrodzenie minimalne) in operation;
(b) Provide ZUS pension contribution at the standard employer-
side rate, with full transferability of accrued pension
rights from prior coal-sector employment;
(c) Coordinate with the Ministry of Education and the Polish
technikum and szkoła branżowa (vocational secondary)
system for apprenticeship-pipeline integration;
(d) Provide explicit pathways from Corps employment to the
Polish civil service (służba cywilna), to the Polish
Armed Forces, and to the State-Treasury-owned-company
sector, for Corps workers seeking longer-term public-
service careers.
TITLE VI — ENERGY SECURITY AND COAL-REGION TRANSITION
ARTICLE 20. ENERGY SECURITY AS A CO-EQUAL MANDATE.
The Sejm declares that ENERGY SECURITY of the Republic of Poland is a co-equal Title of the Authority's mandate alongside productive- capacity, the Civic Robot Corps, and the Personal Productive Asset entitlement. The four operate as a single integrated programme. The structural reasons are:
(a) Poland's energy transition out of 57% coal-dependence creates
a workforce-displacement challenge that no other instrument in
the Polish state has the integrated scope to absorb at the
scale required;
(b) The Polish nuclear-power programme creates a workforce-
absorption opportunity that requires structured training,
relocation, accommodation, and at-cost support infrastructure
that is naturally delivered through the Authority's Civic Robot
Corps service lines;
(c) The Polish offshore-wind and solar build-out creates
distributed deployment opportunities that benefit from Corps-
operated installation and maintenance capacity;
(d) The replication-threshold robotic manufacturing technology
that the Authority deploys is itself an energy-intensive
technology whose long-term operation requires the stable
low-carbon energy supply that the Polish nuclear-and-renewables
transition is designed to deliver.
ARTICLE 21. COORDINATION WITH POLSKIE ELEKTROWNIE JĄDROWE (PEJ).
(1) The Authority and Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe (PEJ) shall
enter a Master Coordination Agreement (Główna Umowa
Koordynacyjna) within twelve months of the establishment of
the Authority, providing for:
(a) Corps-operated workforce-support services at the three-
unit AP1000 project at Choczewo (Lubiatowo-Kopalino,
Pomeranian Voivodeship), including transitional housing
for the construction workforce, at-cost distribution at
the construction site, and family-support services for
workers and families relocating to the Pomeranian
voivodeship;
(b) Authority co-financing of designated Polish-supplier-
industry investments under the AP1000 programme, where
consistent with PEJ procurement policy and the Westinghouse-
Bechtel-PEJ Engineering Development Agreement of 28 April
2025;
(c) Authority training-pipeline coordination for Polish
engineers, technicians, and operators required for the
AP1000 programme and subsequent Polish nuclear builds, in
coordination with the Polish Academy of Sciences (Polska
Akademia Nauk, PAN), AGH Akademia Górniczo-Hutnicza,
Politechnika Warszawska, Politechnika Wrocławska, and
Politechnika Śląska;
(d) Authority preference for procurement of long-term
electricity from PEJ AP1000 output for Authority-operated
productive-capacity facilities, on power-purchase-agreement
terms negotiated bilaterally, providing PEJ with anchor-
offtake commitment supporting project bankability.
(2) The Authority does not direct, control, or modify PEJ's
operations. PEJ remains a separate State-Treasury-owned
company operating its own statutory mandate under the Polish
Atomic Law (Prawo atomowe).
ARTICLE 22. COORDINATION WITH POLISH SMR PROGRAMMES.
(1) The Authority and ORLEN-Synthos Green Energy (with its GE
Hitachi BWRX-300 small-modular-reactor programme) shall enter
a parallel Master Coordination Agreement, on terms substantially
similar to the PEJ agreement under Article 21, adapted for
the SMR-deployment model.
(2) The Authority may enter analogous coordination agreements with
other Polish SMR developers as Polish SMR projects advance
through licensing.
ARTICLE 23. COAL-REGION JUST TRANSITION.
(1) The Authority operates the Coal-Region Transition Service
(Article 18(b)) as the primary Polish state instrument for
structured absorption of coal-sector workers into productive
employment as coal-fired generation and mining facilities
phase out under the 2021 Polish Coal-Industry Social Contract
and any subsequent agreements.
(2) The Authority shall coordinate with the European Commission's
Just Transition Fund and the EU Modernisation Fund for co-
financing of coal-region transition projects.
(3) The Authority guarantees, for every coal-sector worker
qualifying under the 2021 Social Contract and subsequent
agreements who elects transition to Corps employment, that:
(a) Wages shall not be reduced from the worker's prior coal-
sector wage level for a period of not less than five
years from the date of transition;
(b) ZUS pension contributions shall be maintained at the
worker's prior employer-side rate for the same period;
(c) Family-support services including child schooling, family
relocation, and spousal employment placement shall be
provided in coordination with the relevant voivodeship
and the National Employment Agency;
(d) Worker retains the right to return to non-Corps
employment in the voivodeship at any time without loss
of accrued Corps-employment rights.
ARTICLE 24. COORDINATION WITH PGE, PSE, AND OFFSHORE-WIND
CONSORTIA.
(1) The Authority and PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna shall enter
a coordination framework for Corps-operated deployment and
maintenance services for PGE's renewable-energy portfolio and
for the structured phase-out of PGE's coal-fired generation
assets, in alignment with the National Energy and Climate Plan.
(2) The Authority and PSE Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne shall
enter a coordination framework for Corps-operated grid-
infrastructure deployment services as the Polish electricity
grid is reconfigured for nuclear and renewable generation.
(3) The Authority and the Polish offshore-wind consortia (PGE,
Orlen, Equinor, Iberdrola, Ocean Winds, RWE, and other
developers) shall enter coordination agreements for Corps-
operated installation and maintenance services for offshore-
wind deployment in the Polish exclusive economic zone of the
Baltic Sea.
ARTICLE 25. POLISH HYDROGEN ECONOMY COORDINATION.
The Authority is authorised to enter coordination agreements with Polish hydrogen-economy developers (Orlen, PGNiG, ARP-led consortia, and others) for Corps-operated services in support of the Polish hydrogen build-out, where consistent with the European Union hydrogen-economy framework and Polish state hydrogen strategy.
TITLE VII — IMPLEMENTATION PHASES
ARTICLE 26. FOUR-PHASE IMPLEMENTATION.
The Authority shall implement this Act in four phases.
PHASE I — ESTABLISHMENT AND ENROLMENT (Months 0-18 from the effective date). The Authority is incorporated as a State-Treasury joint-stock company. The Supervisory Board and the Management Board are appointed. The sixteen Voivodeship Delivery Units are seated. Initial BGK bonded indebtedness up to PLN 8 billion is drawn. Productive Capacity Shares are issued to all ordinarily-resident Polish citizens and qualifying foreign citizens on file as of the effective date through the PESEL system. The Master Coordination Agreement with PEJ is signed.
PHASE II — INITIAL CORPS OPERATIONS AND COAL-REGION TRANSITION LAUNCH (Months 18-48). The Civic Robot Corps of the Republic of Poland commences initial operations in the Śląskie, Małopolskie, Wielkopolskie, Łódzkie, and Dolnośląskie voivodeships with priority focus on the Coal-Region Transition Service. Initial PFR Co- Investment Agreement under Article 11(2) is signed. First at-cost distribution points are opened. Cumulative BGK indebtedness up to PLN 14 billion. Master Coordination Agreement with ORLEN-Synthos Green Energy is signed. First annual Productive Capacity Dividend may, but is not required to, be distributed at the end of Phase II depending on revenue position.
PHASE III — POLAND-WIDE OPERATIONS (Months 48-96). Corps operations extend to all sixteen Voivodeship Delivery Units. Rural-distribution, agricultural value-added processing, nuclear-build workforce support, renewable-energy deployment, healthcare logistics, and defence- industry dual-use coordination service lines all come online. Full BGK bonded indebtedness up to PLN 20 billion is available, with PFR co-investment up to PLN 10 billion. Annual Productive Capacity Dividend is in regular distribution through ZUS infrastructure. Coordination with the Polish nuclear AP1000 build at Choczewo operates at scale alongside the construction-workforce ramp.
PHASE IV — STEADY-STATE OPERATING POSTURE (Month 96 onward). The Authority reaches steady-state operating posture: all sixteen Voivodeship Delivery Units operating; all service lines under Article 18 operating; Productive Capacity Dividend distribution under Article 15 in steady-state through ZUS infrastructure; the Permanent Reserve under Article 14 accumulating surplus operating revenue annually; BGK indebtedness on declining repayment schedule. The Polish nuclear AP1000 units begin grid-connected operation in the early 2030s under the PEJ schedule; the Authority transitions from build-support posture to long-term offtake-coordination posture. The Authority operates indefinitely.
