PFR: We’re ready to co-finance Poland's nuclear plant

Polish Development Fund PFR will co-finance the construction of the first Polish nuclear plant if needed, its CEO Paweł Borys said. “The Polish government and potentially Polish companies are getting close to final talks and if positive decisions are made and Poland will build nuclear power units, then PFR was established to co-finance such important, big investments with a very long return on investment horizon,” he explained. “Everyone with funds is welcome, I'm pleased with PFR's declaration,” Energy Minister Krzysztof Tchórzewski said, and added that the decision whether to go ahead with the nuclear project will be announced soon, and he hopes that Poland will be able to build three blocks by 2040-45. Poland wants to have 4.5 GW nuclear power capacity and estimates the cost of the project at PLN 70 billion.
