Poland’s government plans to earmark over 60 billion zloty (€14bn, $15.5bn) for the project company charged with the development of the country’s first nuclear power station near the villages of Lubiatowo and Kopalino on the country’s Baltic coast, according to a proposed bill published in the official gazette earlier this week.

The funding, pending final approval by cabinet and the parliament, is expected to cover approximately 30% of Polskie Elektrownie Jadrowe's (PEJ) capitalisation, with the remaining portion to be sourced from foreign borrowing.
