Renewable energy sources take up the biggest chunk of the draft version of the National Recovery Plan, because those investments will be the most expensive and may also garner a lot of leniency from the European Commission, which will approve the green Marshall Plan for Europe – writes Wojciech Jakóbik, editor in chief at BiznesAlert.pl.

Unfortunately, because of the phobias about nuclear power shared by a big chunk of the political class, many states give up on the only stable and green source of energy that is currently available. This results in higher emissions from fossil fuels and increasingly more frequent power outages. Poland can’t afford this irrational fear. In […]

So what Poland has an energy strategy if it so vulnerable to pressure from various interest groups that it could be changed at any moment. The bickering in the United Right is disorganizing the state policy on power – writes Wojciech Jakóbik, editor in chief at BiznesAlert.pl.

I believe that most important factors that determines the success of nuclear power plant construction are the type of reactor that guarantees robust safety and ability to construct on time and within budget. As a trustworthy supplier KHNP has an competitive advantage over others in this respect and we believe the Polish government will make […]

The Ministry of Climate and the Environment opened consultations on the draft regulation that will determine the maximum price for energy generated in offshore wind farms (reference price). Investors want the government to raise it. They argue that the assumptions on which the price calculation was based are wrong – writes Bartłomiej Sawicki, editor at […]

The most important factor that contributed to the EUA (EU allowance for CO2 emissions) reaching a price of EUR 40 per ton was the first Polish EUA auction in 2021, where the final price of the allowance was EUR 38, which is as much as EUR 1.48 over the price on the secondary market. Why […]

For years Poland has been trying to reduce its dependence on oil and gas import from Russia. These efforts, which in the majority have been successful, have amplified Poland’s dependence on… the Baltic Sea. Poland’s interests in the Baltic go beyond hydrocarbons, and the sea’s role will continue to grow in the coming years – […]

Why is Estonia reaching for small modular reactors technology instead of big conventional one? – One of the reasons is “success” of Polish and Finnish nuclear programs. This success is very limited. Smaller reactors bring lower financial risks – says Kalev Kallemets, Fermi Energia CEO.

Interest in hydrogen technologies is definitely on the rise. Countries and companies are testing their options in order not to be left behind and to find their own niches in the emerging hydrogen economy. Poland, compared to the rest of CEE region, started with an impetus, but in order to become a leader, the country […]

The construction of a nuclear power plant creates numerous and very diverge opportunities for Polish contractors. For instance the installation of electrical wiring, which some disparagingly call „cable-laying” is an important part of the works, without which no power plant, not just a nuclear one, would be able to launch – Adam Rajewski from the […]
