If Poland is to meet its ambitious targets for new nuclear it needs to achieve important milestones in the coming years including site selection, choice of co-investor and reactor technology, and the finalisation of a financing mechanism and contractual arrangements.

The International Energy Agency said in a report on Poland’s energy policy that the introduction of nuclear power is a key component of Poland’s energy policy.

Poland is aiming to construct two nuclear power stations with three reactors each, with the first reactor to be in operation by 2033 and for all six reactors to be in operation by 2043.
