The French are not giving up on their fight for a nuclear contract in Poland. The foundation of Poland’s 2040 energy strategy may be developed with their participation, and considering the favorable trends in Europe, a decision on this may be made soon – writes Wojciech Jakóbik, editor in chief at BiznesAlert.pl.

Adam Rajewski from the Warsaw University of Technology comments on the alarmist report drafted for Germany’s Green Party that warns against a nuclear disaster in a Polish NPP whose opening is planned for 2033. „Even the best prediction model yields wrong results if the entry data are wrong,” the scientists concludes.

Research should be done by scientists, but when the Green party in Germany raises alarm over nuclear power in Poland something is up. What? For instance an election campaign in Germany. It should be expected that if the Greens enter the government they will help Poland torpedo Nord Stream 2, but they will also undermine […]

The Polish industry is mature and experienced in the nuclear field. More than 35 Polish companies have already been working on EPR projects. EDF would be able to bring the support of French export credit agency BPI France and of the public refinancing bank SFIL, thus allowing the coverage of potentially more than two-thirds of […]

During his first year in office, Joe Biden will push for an energy transition, but if there is no political consensus on the matter, the administration will take the middle road, which roughly means maintaining the status quo – Marcin Zaborowski, PhD, editor in chief of Res Publica Nowa, says in an interview with BiznesAlert.pl.

„We are critical of investments in gas. They freeze money that we really need to phase out fossil fuels. The European Union sees this as well and has announced it would stop subsidizing fossil fuels as of 2025. Why then invest in declining technologies and 'freeze’ our human and financial resources?,” Urszula Zielińska MP from […]

H.E. Ambassador Virginia E. Palmer Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Energy Resources at the U.S. State Department took part in a webinar organized by the Warsaw Institute. She talked about the importance of diversification projects pursued by Poland and the U.S to improve Europe’s security.

„Maybe the time for Polish nuclear power is long gone, before it even came. Unless we invest in state-of-the-art and safest small reactors of up to a few hundred MW,” the professor proposed. Jerzy Buzek, Poland’s former prime minister and current Member of the European Parliament sits for an interview with BiznesAlert.pl before the 32nd […]

There is a lot of speculation on America’s energy policy after Joe Biden’s victory, but its mills grind slowly, albeit consistently. Americans, who may build Poland’s nuclear power plant, are also trying to secure another nuclear deal in Europe – writes Wojciech Jakóbik, editor in chief at BiznesAlert.pl.

The changes that may occur in Belarus will not result in Poland importing energy from a Russian nuclear power plant, nor will they encourage Warsaw to join the chorus of critics who claim that NPPs are a safety threat. Only an unwelcome change in Warsaw could alter that – writes Wojciech Jakóbik, editor in chief […]
