Nuclear power in Poland will cost PLN 40-70 bln – Energy Ministry

The cost of building a nuclear power plant in Poland is estimated at PLN 40-70 billion, depending on its capacity, said Józef Sobolewski, head of the Nuclear Power Department at the Energy Ministry told journalists at the EEC in Katowice. The location of the plant should be known in late 2019/early 2020. “Our assumption is that the first bloc will cost PLN 15 million for each Megawatt of power, which is PLN 15 billion for 1,000 MW. … According to British standards, each subsequent bloc would cost 20 percent less,” Sobolewski said.
