Poland has formally updated its nuclear power programme to target up to 9 GW of capacity, with the first AP1000 reactor unit at Lubiatowo-Kopalino now scheduled for 2036 commercial operation, three years later than initially planned. The programme includes state equity and debt financing supported by the European Commission, plans for a second station with a competitive technology selection process by 2027, and aims for substantial domestic industry participation.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Polish clean energy founders must plan for delayed revenue but greater state-backed finance now unlocked. The competition for the second reactor tech contract opening in 2027 offers a clear entry point for new suppliers and partners.
