Power System in Poland


Power System in Poland • Installed generation capacity (gross): ~ 35.7

GW • The maximum demand - more than 25 GW

• Annual production of electricity: more then

150 TWh


4

1. Security of electricity supply Diversification of fuel mix Development of interconnections and

transmission grid 2. Restrictions on SO2, NOx, CO2 emissions 3. Development of new generation sources 4. Increase in electricity generation efficiency

Challenges for the Polish Power Sector

MINISTRY OF ECONOMY

• Mining of uranium ore ended in 1968, and processing was terminated in 1973, being not a source of any new waste at present.

• Domestic nuclear installations other then NPPs (research reactors, spent-fuel, radwaste facilities) in 2 sites in central Poland (LILW + SF)

Introduction –basic information on Country situation

Poland has no NPPs, project of the first NPP, planned at Zarnowiec (two units WWER-440/V213 - construction started in 1985) was abandoned in 1990.

Nuclear power development in Poland

MINISTRY OF ECONOMY

1. Elaboration of the Nuclear Power Program

Long term vision of the Program; its scope and pace; economic and social impact

Public debate prior to the formal adoption by the Government

2. Building necessary infrastructure: legal regulations; model of nuclear power industry institutional and organizational structure; building new competences effective system of human resources training/education R&D resources

3. Preparatory works for the construction of the first NPP – investor responsibilities nuclear technology and suppliers selection, concluding contracts providing financing for the first NPP auxiliary investments planning


Factors stimulating the Polish Nuclear Power Program Current status of power

generation & market situation in Poland

Polish NPP

EU obligations & requirements

Interconnection development

Polish NPP is at the heart of the Polish Energy Policy, which requires a significant change of power generation fuel mix

Market demand

Legal framework of the Nuclear Power Program

Resolution no. 4/2009 of the Council of the Ministers of 13 January 2009 on nuclear power development activities

Ordinance of the Council of Ministers of 12 May 2009 on establishing Government Commissioner for Nuclear Power in Poland

Resolution of the Council of Ministers of 11 August 2009 on „Framework time schedule for nuclear power activities”

November 2009 - approval of the National Energy Policy up to 2030

Law of May 13th, 2011 on amendment of Atomic Law and other laws - entered into force on 2011.07.01

Law of June 29th, 2011 on preparation and realization of Investments in nuclear facilities and accompanying investments - entered into force on 2011.07.01

Draft strategy: Polish Nuclear Power Program - will be approved in the second half of 2012 by the Council of Ministers.

MINISTRY OF ECONOMY


Poland’s ”Energy Policy until 2030” – priorities (approv. 10 November, 2009 by the Council of Ministers)

Energy efficiency improvement

Increasing security of fuel and energy supplies

Diversification of power generation sources through implementation of nuclear power

Increasing use of renewable energy sources, including bio fuels

Development of competitive fuel and energy markets

Limitation of energy sector’s impact on environment

MINISTRY OF ECONOMY


\

Essential is reduction of emissions without jeopardising energy security

Poland’s energy balance is particularly dominated by coal (92% of electricity and 77% of heat based on coal)

This is why our approach to reduction of CO2 emissions must be specific

Poland is going to optimise the use of own resources (mainly coal) in order to ensure the energy security

27

Reduction of GHGs emissions vs energy security

MINISTRY OF ECONOMY, POLAND MINISTRY OF ECONOMY
