On April 17, Orlen will reveal locations for SMRs

BiznesAlert.pl has learned that on April 17, 2023, PKN Orlen will reveal the locations for its small reactors in Poland. The company is to specify three or more locations where it will build its small atom. Dawid Jackiewicz, CEO of Orlen Synthos Green Energy, confirmed the above date at the Salon24 conference in Warsaw.

Orlen’s strategy includes a plan to achieve climate neutrality by 2050, which is why it wants to invest in low-and zero-emission energy generation capacities.

According to Orlen CEO Daniel Obajtek, the company plans to install 78 reactors throughout the country.
