Poland is looking for a partner for the second nuclear power plant it plans to build.

Poland intends to select a partner next year for the construction of its second nuclear power plant, according to an announcement made by Wojciech Wrochna, the deputy minister of Energy. The location of this plant will be confirmed in 2028, and the total nuclear energy capacity of the country will reach 6-9 gigawatts. Currently, coal-fired power plants generate over 60% of Poland's electricity. The first nuclear power plant, located on the coast of the Baltic Sea, will start supplying electricity to the grid in 2036, with construction work scheduled to begin in 2028.

Recently, Poland signed an agreement with the American consortium Westinghouse Electric for the design of this plant, estimating construction costs at 100 billion zlotys (approximately 24 billion euros). Poland has also begun consultations to select a partner for the second plant, inviting candidates from the United States, France, Canada, and South Korea. The plan includes the construction of three nuclear power plants, each with three reactors, which could represent approximately 30% of the country's energy mix.
