“It depends on the total demand for energy in the future 2040-45. We predict that this could be around 20%. It will not be so that we transfer all the energy in Poland to the atomic energy, ”he said, specifying the planned volumes of energy production.
Naimsky added that the authorities intend to build reactors to generate 6-9 gigawatts of electricity.
He also noted that the United States is a very good partner in this matter, which are few in the world.
“We are looking for a partner who will also financially participate in this enterprise, who will build with us, and also stay with us for a long period of operation. There are few such partners in the world. Here the American partner is a very good choice, ”RIA Novosti quoted the official as saying.
Naimsky did not answer the question about the location of the future nuclear power plant, but said that he would be able to talk about the place, the contractor and the construction time in about a year.
Earlier, American and Polish presidents Donald Trump and Andrzej Duda confirmed the preparation of a bilateral agreement on the construction of a nuclear power plant in Poland.
In October 2019, Poland announced plans to completely abandon Russian gas by the end of 2022.
Then Naimsky clarified that the United States and Qatar could become new suppliers.
