Poland’s first commercial nuclear power plant is scheduled for commercial operation in 2036 with first concrete in 2028 under an expected update of the country’s nuclear power programme, undersecretary of state for strategic energy infrastructure Wojciech Wrochna told journalists 11 December.

The revised timeframe means a three-year delay to previous government plans for the plant to be operational in 2033.
