Nuclear.

To accelerate the energy transition, Poland plans to build two nuclear power plants. The government also wants a third facility. France intends to stay in the race and is ready to offer a lot thanks to its extensive experience in this segment.

The potential candidate for the prime minister Donald Tusk met with voters in Wroclaw. He was asked whether he would block the ongoing nuclear project. „Nuclear power plants are essential. We are out of time,” he replied. He was also asked whether the location in Pomerania would be changed, but did not give a clear […]

„The current government has signed agreements and committed to building a nuclear power plant in Poland and we will have to re-examine all the documents.

The future of the EU energy market has been determined by France, Poland and Germany. The French will be able to use differential contracts to finance nuclear power plants, and the Poles and Germans have received a derogation on coal in the power market – writes Wojciech Jakóbik, editor-in-chief BiznesAlert.pl.

A project agreement has already been concluded for the first Polish nuclear power plant, and Andrzej Domański from the Civic Coalition (KO) notes that the KO did not want to terminate this deal. The coalition believes there is space for two large nuclear power plants and SMRs.

„If we add all the capacities of the planned SMRs, we will get a sum exceeding Poland’s demand for power, even if we do not count other sources. So it is clear that they cannot all be built. But which ones will… Here we can refer to the words of Zhou Enlai: it is too […]
