BulletPower BulletsEnergy BulletsCommodities

 Poland is 58% ready to begin construction on its first large-scale nuclear power plant, which will have a total capacity of 3.75GW, according to a new report by Baker McKenzie and Polityka Insight, cited by ISB News.

  • However, while the country has made significant progress in regulatory, political, and social readiness, challenges remain in technology, investment, and workforce development, which could delay the project’s timeline, the report added.
  • Additionally, further legislative refinements are needed, including insurance pools and local content rules.
  • And licensing process for the selected reactor is still pending, delaying component procurement.
  • Contract signing for reactor construction is expected by 2028-2029, three years later than planned, the report said.
  • Furthermore, the European Commission’s state aid approval process could take longer than the formal 18-month timeline, the authors highlighted.
  • Poland is eyeing a total nuclear capacity of around 6-9GW in the upcoming decades, with the first unit expected to be operational in the mid-2030s.
