Ministry of Energy planning to build two nuclear power plants by 2043

The director of the nuclear energy department of the Ministry of Energy, Józef Sobolewski, has announced that Poland will build two nuclear power plants by 2043. They would be located in the north and in the center of the country.

The Ministry of Energy’s "Energy Policy of Poland until 2040" project (PEP) assumes the commissioning of the first block of a nuclear power plant with the capacity of 1-1.5 GW by 2033 and blocks with a total capacity of 6-9 GW by 2043.

In May 2018 the Ministry of Energy estimated the cost of building the first nuclear power plant in Poland, depending on its capacity, at between PLN 40 billion and PLN 70 billion.
