Poland will have to look for investors to build the country's second nuclear power plant – as stated by Prime Minister Donald Tusk, TASS reports
Speaking at the European Forum of New Ideas in Sopot, the Polish PM said, “In the case of the second nuclear power plant, we will have to look for financial partners [to build it].” Donald Tusk’s speech was broadcast by TVP Info.
According to the PM, the republic will fully finance the construction of its first nuclear power plant, which will be located on the Baltic Sea coast.
As reported by the Rzeczpospolita newspaper, Warsaw has not yet made a decision on the construction of the second and subsequent nuclear power facilities in the country. The authorities are waiting for the results of the analysis of electricity production needs for the coming decades; based on these data, the Polish nuclear energy programme will be updated until 2040. After that, according to the publication, the government will begin to choose a construction site for the future nuclear power plant.
