PGE SA (PGE), Poland’s largest power utility, is looking at the Baltic Sea coast to build a nuclear plant to take advantage of ample cooling-water supplies and to boost power production in the region.
PGE shortlisted the northern Polish towns of Choczewo, Gaski and Zarnowiec as sites for a 3,000-megawatt plant, Chief Executive Officer Tomasz Zadroga told reporters in Warsaw today.
Poland, which relies on coal for 90 percent of its power production, is building the plant to cut carbon-dioxide emissions as utilities look to options including gas-fired power plants and renewable energy sources before they start paying for CO2 permits after 2012.
