The Council of the European Union has published an updated climate and digital tagging for Greece's modified recovery and resilience plan, applying the methodologies from Annexes VI and VII of Regulation (EU) 2021/241 to each measure. The document, a Commission staff working document dated 27 July 2026, accompanies a proposal for a Council Implementing Decision amending the 13 July 2021 decision on Greece's plan. The tagging assigns coefficients to each measure, determining the share counted toward EU climate and digital targets.
The updated tagging lists each measure or sub-measure with its budget in EUR millions, intervention field, and coefficient percentage for climate and digital objectives. New or revised measures are marked in yellow; unchanged measures are not highlighted. Key climate measures with a 100% coefficient include support for storage systems (EUR 450m), electricity interconnection (EUR 195m), HEDNO upgrades (EUR 100m), energy renovation of residential buildings (EUR 938m), electric buses (EUR 217m), national reforestation (EUR 651m), and the RRP Loan Facility for energy efficiency in SMEs and large enterprises (EUR 2,520m). Key digital measures with a 100% coefficient include small-satellites (EUR 550m), digitisation of archives (EUR 552m), digital transformation of SMEs (EUR 181m), education (EUR 394m), health (EUR 330m), and AI Gigafactory (EUR 350m). Some measures have dual climate and digital tagging, such as smart infrastructure (EUR 50m, 100% for both) and digital transformation of Hellenic Railways (EUR 40m, 40% climate, 100% digital).
The document updates the climate and digital tagging for Greece's plan, which was originally approved in July 2021 and has since been modified. The tagging ensures that Greece's recovery and resilience plan aligns with the EU's climate and digital targets, with specific budgets allocated to measures that contribute to these objectives. The proposal for a Council Implementing Decision will now be considered by the Council, which is expected to adopt the amended decision in due course. The updated tagging provides transparency on how Greece's plan supports energy, transport, digital, and resilience investments, with clear coefficients for climate and digital contributions.
Greek businesses and households stand to benefit from energy efficiency and digital transformation investments, while the Greek government gains clarity on EU funding eligibility. EU taxpayers see their contributions directed toward measurable climate and digital goals. The tagging also imposes reporting obligations on Greek authorities to track expenditure against coefficients.
