Warsaw: Poland will continue with the plan to build its first nuclear power station worth $15.8 billion, run by the country’s top utility PGE, a government official said on Monday.
However, the country’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk did not mention the programme in his Friday speech, where he talked about other planned investments in infrastructure.
Poland’s plan for the power sector assumes spending around 60 billion zlotys by the end of the decade on eight new power units in Turow, Opole, Pulawy, Blachownia, Stalowa Wola, Jaworzno, Kozienice and Wloclawek, Reuters reported.
“There will be an additional 50 billion zlotys [$15.8 billion] on the power station, but this investment decision, the choice of technology, this will come only in 2015,” Treasury Minister Mikolaj Budzanowski told broadcaster TVP Info.
Budzanowski said the company managing the nuclear project has just started to seek a location for the power station, a process which should end in 2015 as well.
