PGE says Polish nuclear plant to be built in 2029

PGE EJ1, a company responsible for carrying out a construction of the Polish nuclear power plant informed that the plant will be launched in 2029 at the earliest, four years later that the government assumed, Rzeczpospolita daily reported. The delay is a consequence of taking on site research itself and cancel a consultancy contract with Australian WorleyParsons in December last year. What is more, the company complains that the government is not willing to support the project by not choosing contract for difference procedure, which PGE would preferred. In addition, the proceeding to choose a strategic partner for the construction of a nuclear plant in Poland will take place in H2 2015, what will also cause some delay. Currently, Choszczewo and Żarnowiec are considered as potential locations for the nuclear plant.
