The development of nuclear power engineering is an opportunity for Poland to meet the rising demand for electricity supplied at reasonable prices. It seems also a necessity in light of  EU climate protection requirements - atom-based power generation does not generate any emissions of CO2, dust, sulphur dioxide, etc.
For this reason, the project entitled "Poland's Power Generation Policy until 2030" mentions the development of nuclear power engineering as one of the important areas of activity.

Thanks to our experience in the execution of large investment projects and our stable economic standing, at the beginning of 2009 the Polish government  entrusted PGE with a mission to develop nuclear power generation in Poland. Our engagement comprises participation in the preparation of the programme and fulfilment of the leading role at its execution.

The construction of Poland's first nuclear power plant is a large-scale enterprise. In order to execute this investment project, within the PGE Capital Group, a business line dealing with nuclear power engineering will be established.

So as to commission the first nuclear power plant in 2020, according to the governmental "Framework schedule of activities for nuclear power generation", it is necessary to select a location and technology as well as obtain all the necessary permits. At present the commencement of  construction is planned for 2016.

The investment plans of PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna S.A. include the construction of two nuclear power plants, each with a capacity of about 3 thousand MW.
