We have six nuclear power plants – there are four ready and operating, two more under construction. We do not have to change the design. Others need to. This is a difference that would influence the schedule heavily – states David Durham, Westinghouse’s president for Energy Systems.

Recently Kantar Public conducted a Net Promoter Score (NPS) survey  [1] among miners. The results exposed a never-before-seen level of dissatisfaction among that professional group. The picture painted employees in a trap, afraid of the future and layoffs, but adamant at sticking to their current job, because it is the best (or even the only) […]

The interference at the Rogowiec power substation led to the shutdown of 10 coal units. Questions about the responsibility for the breakdown and compensation for the incurred losses need to be answered. However, it seems that the answer on how to avoid such situations is more interesting that the search for a culprit – Bartłomiej […]

Initial estimates on the level of engagement of Polish companies in the construction of offshore wind farms in the Baltic have been presented. According to Polenergia and Equinor, when it comes to their projects, the domestic input may reach 9-20 percent at the construction stage, and 60-80 percent in the exploitation phase. The former could […]

The Bełchatów Power Plant is slowly going back online after yet another malfunction. Large coal-fired power plants involve a big risk of power outages, which take a long time to fix. Smaller and quicker conventional power plants are of help as a stable reserve capacity, and so is energy import – Wojciech Jakóbik editor in […]

Renewable energy sources and e-mobility do not generate emissions, but they need raw materials that more often than not require forceful exploitation. Extraction in the West with the participation of companies such as Poland’s KGHM may have the least impact on the environment – writes Wojciech Jakóbik, editor in chief at BiznesAlert.pl.

Offshore wind is a great opportunity for Poland as it can not only produce green, homegrown power at large scale; it will also generate jobs and economic activity in Poland. But obviously, challenges and unforeseen events are inevitable when building large infrastructure projects – says Rasmus Errboe from Orsted in an interview with BiznesAlert.pl.

The construction of offshore wind farms in Poland’s Exclusive Economic Zone in the Baltic Sea is a technological, financial and logistical challenge. Polish harbors have to be ready to compete with their veteran counterparts that for years have been offering various logistical services for offshore installations. However, before that happens they need multi-billion infrastructural investments. […]
