Poland may be forced to introduce a contract for difference as a financing mechanism for nuclear power plants, which it did not want to use. This could entail a nuclear fee on the energy bill once the first reactor goes into operation. Alternatively, Warsaw could try to tip the scales as part of the Weimar […]

The new Bulgarian government drops two new nuclear reactors from France’s EDF, but sticks to Americans from Westinghouse. Poles are also talking to everyone at once, and parliamentary elections are about to take place.

The Ontario Province is sure the SMR technology that is to arrive to Poland thanks to Orlen Synthos Green Energy will be successful. „We are entering the next phase by investing in small nuclear reactors, especially in locations where there are already large nuclear plnts,” said Todd Smith, Ontario’s Minister of Energy, at a meeting […]

A Canadian supplier of nuclear fuel and components is ready to provide them to Poland if Warsaw decides to build GE Hitachi reactors. The Polish SMR project is in the making and Poland’s Orlen and Synthos are involved as well. Meanwhile, GE Hitachi, which provides the reactor technology, is focusing on a project in Canada […]

Urszula Zielińska, a candidate of the Civic Coalition in Warsaw from the Green Party, announced in an interview with Radio Zet that, after taking power, her party will look into the agreement on the construction of the first Polish power plant with Americans. „We need to find out to what degree the agreement is binding, […]

Canadians have high hopes for small BWRX-300 nuclear reactors, but they do not forget about large-scale NPPs and warn against straining supply chains if multiple technologies are used at once.

Poland intends to develop nuclear projects with the United States and South Korea, but Japan may be a new potential partner for cooperation. Tokyo and Warsaw have a similar approach to the energy transition and the role of nuclear power in the energy mix, and the experience of companies from the land of the rising […]

Nuclear energy, along with renewables, will be a major part of our country’s energy mix for decades to come. Large nuclear power plants are just as important for the stability of energy supply as SMR programs. 

Poland will handle the technology and financing of nuclear power plants. However, in a country where there is no atom yet, licensing capabilities are the real bottleneck – explains Michał Kurtyka, former Minister of Climate and Environment, President of COP24, and now a member of the Atlantic Council, in an interview with BiznesAlert.pl.

Today, in Arkady Kubickiego in Warsaw, a project agreement was signed between Polish Nuclear Power Plants (PEJ) and the American companies Westinghouse and Bechtel on the construction of the first nuclear power plant in Pomerania. The document brings us closer to the implementation of this project.
