The Baltic states are preparing for a divorce with the power system of the Commonwealth of Independent States. The Harmony Link project implemented with Poles will help. It can hurt the Russians who can break up in peace or go for a clash – says Wojciech Jakóbik, editor-in-chief of BiznesAlert.pl.

Gentlemen, let’s count the votes! Germany is missing one country to gather a minority blocking the revision of the gas directive that could entrap Nord Stream 2. They are also working on the Romanian Presidency to steady on – writes Wojciech Jakóbik, editor-in-chief of BiznesAlert.pl.

Just last Thursday, the Poles celebrated the inauguration of the Romanian Presidency of the Council of the European Union, and now Romania is accelerating work on the revision of the Gas Directive. This is a chance to delay or block Nord Stream 2 – writes Wojciech Jakóbik, editor-in-chief of BiznesAlert.pl.

US sanctions against a Nord Stream 2 contractor would be a surgical incision affecting Russia’s interests, but less in European players involved in the project. It is not certain, however, whether Donald Trump really wants them – writes Wojciech Jakóbik, editor-in-chief of BiznesAlert.pl.

Will a nuclear power plant be built near Bełchatów? This proposal is not new, but the government can actually decide on it – writes Wojciech Jakóbik, editor-in-chief of BiznesAlert.pl.

The COP24 is over, the election campaign is starting, in which the dispute over Poland’s energy and climate policy will play an increasingly important role, which may end in changes in the government, but not necessarily a change in Polish politics – writes Wojciech Jakóbik, editor-in-chief of BiznesAlert.pl.

The awkwardness of politicians who want to defend coal should not lead to the inclusion of clean coal technologies and the atom on the index of prohibited topics. They will be fully entitled if they pass the economic test – writes Wojciech Jakóbik, editor-in-chief of BiznesAlert.pl.

The prime minister will find it difficult to change the energy strategy because he is in danger of being replaced. On the eve of the next elections, the strategy kneels before politics – says Wojciech Jakóbik, editor-in-chief of BiznesAlert.pl.

The lack of precision of the message causes that the market receives mixed signals about the development of energy. The Prime Minister should cut the speculation so that we go to the COP24 climate summit with a credible declaration of decarbonisation – writes Wojciech Jakóbik, editor-in-chief of BiznesAlert.pl.

We have a draft energy strategy until 2040, which will be submitted to social consultations until January 15, 2019. This means that by the end of the year there will be no official Polish Energy Policy until 2040 – writes Wojciech Jakóbik, editor-in-chief of BiznesAlert.pl.
