Coal-fired power generation is past its prime. It is being replaced by a new resource – renewable energy, and a new way to use other technologies – gas-fired power generation – Jadwiga Emilewicz, former Minister of Development, says.

If Germans really decide to block nuclear power in Poland, Warsaw may set up an inquiry committee at the European Parliament, which will delay deliveries via Nord Stream 2, provided the pipe isn’t stopped by US sanctions – writes Wojciech Jakóbik, editor-in-chief at BiznesAlert.pl.

Modernizing the safety of reactors in France’s nuclear power plants, e.g. to prevent core meltdowns, is technologically impossible and in some areas, such as safety in case of an earthquake, it is so expensive it is practically impossible. The consequences of nuclear disasters go beyond a country’s border. France’s old nuclear power plants are a […]

Since the disaster at the Fukushima power plant there haven’t been any other breakdowns at Japan’s nuclear facilities. Caused by a tsunami wave, the disaster had to undermine, at least partially, the society’s trust in nuclear power. However, as time goes by the Japanese are starting to realize it is not easy to replace this […]

Nobody can guarantee that a disaster like Fukushima couldn’t happen in Russia. It relates to any country. One may ask about the likelihood of such a scenario. The majority of the world’s nuclear reactor fleet, which is about 400, is of the first or second generation having a probability of big accidents one per 10 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]

All Poles will pay for the energy transition. One of the propositions on the table is a new tax. We will pay less if we use the subsidies for the transition to a green economy, but there is a catch – writes Wojciech Jakóbik, editor in chief at BiznesAlert.pl.
