Poland has updated its nuclear power programme (PPEJ), confirming technology choices, construction timelines and financing structures for its first nuclear station while introducing a clearer roadmap for a second station.

The new document marks a shift from planning to implementation, specifying that the country’s planned 6 GW to 9 GW of nuclear capacity will be delivered from two large-scale nuclear stations, one being prepared on the Baltic coast in the province of Pomerania and a second likely in central Poland’s coal heartland.

Warsaw last updated its nuclear plans in 2020 with the goal of deploying 6 GW to 9 GW of nuclear by 2040, but leaving technology, vendor and site selection open.
