Tauron will present new strategy in Q2

Power utility Tauron will present a new strategy that will guarantee "a good future and a stable supply of energy to the Polish energy system," before the end of Q2, Tauron CEO Remigiusz Nowakowski told a news conference in Jaworzno. Nowakowski also said he hopes for the introduction of capacity support mechanisms in Poland. "We need to have guaranteed the purchase of our capacity in the system," he said at the construction site of a new coal-fuelled power block in Jaworzno. "900 MW of capacity will be created here, but [at present] we do not have certainty that this block will be able to work a sufficient number of hours [to make it economically viable]." The creation of the Energy Ministry boosts the chances that a mechanism for remunerating capacity will be introduced, he added.
