Deliveries from the Khmelnytsky nuclear power plant in Ukraine, which are on the EU agenda, are a source of cheap energy and political disputes in Poland, writes Wojciech Jakóbik, editor-in-chief at BiznesAlert.pl.

During a sitting of the Sejm’s Committee on the European Union, the MPs discussed Germany’s departure from nuclear power, which is being challenged by Poland due to the energy crisis fuelled by Russia. The MPs and representatives of the government agreed that it was necessary to support the renaissance of nuclear power.

The Government Plenipotentiary for Strategic Energy Infrastructure Piotr Naimski has been dismissed due to his opposition to the Orlen-Lotos merger. He was preparing a plan to accelerate the construction of nuclear plants in Poland with the help of a US-South Korea tandem, but if his critics win, large NPPs could be replaced with many smaller […]

If the German government does not return to nuclear power, at some point it may return to the disputed Nord Stream 2 pipeline despite Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The first option would be a victory of reason, and the latter of the interests of companies associated with Russians – writes Wojciech Jakóbik, editor-in-chief at BiznesAlert.pl.

– The better we prepare, the less problems we will have. I think that if we are properly prepared, Putin will not stop gas supplies – says Georg Zachmann from the Bruegel in an interview with BiznesAlert.pl.

Poland must create an entire nuclear energy system, and the power plant will be just the tip of the iceberg. Regardless of which country Poland will cooperate with, it will have to ensure not just accompanying infrastructure and financing, but most of all, knowledge necessary to service and maintain large-scale NPPs. South Korea can show […]

Small modular reactors could redefine nuclear power. Reportedly the most important features of this solution include reliability, safety and protection of resources. America’s NuScale wants to lead Europe on a quest to build small NPPs – writes Jędrzej Stachura, editor at BiznesAlert.pl.

The residents of the Choczewo municipality do not oppose nuclear power in principle. We understand its importance for the Polish economy. However, we want our demands on specific issues to be heard and treated with due care for such a large investment – says Wiesław Gębka, mayor of Choczewo, in an interview with BiznesAlert.pl.

SMR, or small modular reactors, can be a response to the needs of Polish large enterprises that have a serious demand for electricity. PKN Orlen, which is transforming from an oil company towards a multi-energy one, and KGHM, which is the second largest energy consumer in Poland, see this technology as a way to reduce […]
