Naimski: Polish nuclear power plant in 2030 or 2031
Ministry of energy will have finished a project of energy policy strategy until 2040 by the end of this year – said Piotr Naimski.
The strategy points several energy sources that Poland will use between 2040 and 2050: it will be 50 per cent coal, 20 per cent of renewable energy sources and 20 per cent nuclear power.
– This is just a draft document. It will be finished by the end of this year – announced Naimski. He also stressed that „we will keep a dominant position of coal in Polish energy mix, we will also have emission-free sources”.
Minister Naimski was also asked, whether a stricter approach towards climate change would influence a full usage of Polish coal potential.
– We are in a European regime, which is difficult for Poland. It is contradictory to Polish interests – he pointed. He also said that Poland is „trying to negotiate conditions for the future as well as possible”
