Nuclear power plant pushed back by two years?

Reuters reported that plans to build Poland's first nuclear power plant will be delayed by at least another two years, according to anonymous sources. The delay is due to the decision made by state-run utility PGE to take on site research itself and cancel a consultancy contract. PGE's canceled the PLN 250 million worth contract with Australian WorleyParsons in December. "This alone delays the program by at least two years," a person familiar with the program told Reuters. "PGE would now have to conduct all the studies, including those on environmental impact, on its own, which could take additional time given its lack of expertise." The project, expected to cost between $10 billion and $15 billion, was expected to be completed by 2035.
