This involves support amounting to approximately 60 billion zlotys, the allocation of which the Sejm approved on February 20. The condition for recapitalization of the company Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe was the approval of the European Commission. The plant, which is to play a key role in Poland's energy transformation, is planned to be built in Pomerania.
The construction of the first reactor is scheduled to begin in 2028, and the first power unit is to be commissioned in 2035. Against the backdrop of these events, on Wednesday, December 10, a conference of Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe is to be held, which will be dedicated to "the latest achievements in the implementation of the project for the construction of a nuclear power plant in Pomerania."
