Polish nuclear plant to cost PLN 75 bln and be operational in 2029 – Tchórzewski

Energy Minister Krzysztof Tchórzewski said, that the three-block nuclear power plant, would cost some PLN 75 billion overall, with a single unit at PLN 23-25 billion price tag. The first block could become operational in 2029, with the second one coming online five years later, and the third one after another five year period, which would mean that the whole facility will be finished in 2043-45.  “I may assure that there are possibilities of launching such investment in Poland, as nuclear investments are investments financed in a long term,” Tchórzewski said. Earlier this week, he said that in order to meet EU’s clean energy criteria, Poland needs to build a three-block nuclear plant with 4,500 MW capacity.
