bando said the polish government aims to complete the construction of the first generating unit of the nuclear power plant in 2035. but he stressed that completing the construction work does not mean that the reactor can start working immediately, and it may take several months to a year for the generating unit to start generating electricity.

in order to reduce emissions and improve air pollution, the polish government has increased investment in recent years to try to get rid of its dependence on coal-fired power generation. bando said that poland's future energy mix will be based on renewable energy and nuclear energy.

according to eu regulations, state support provided by member states to domestic companies must comply with eu fair competition regulations. poland's first nuclear power plant will be built in the baltic coastal city of choczewo. (end)
