The Polish billionaire warns: – Poland is threatened by Blackouts, energy in Poland will still get more expensive – these words fell from Michał Sołowo's mouth on February 3 at the EEC Trends conference in Warsaw. Gap in supply (too low current production compared to demand, which may end in power outages, so -called blacks) is in his opinion The effect of not only European regulations, but also poor technical condition of Polish energy blocks.
Expensive current discourages investors: Sołowow also said that high energy prices are the reason for the low share of investment in GDP in Poland, because “energy is a component in everything.” Calculated that We have had the most expensive electricity in Europe for 22 monthswhich adversely affects Poles' portfolios and discourages investing.
Michał Sołowow invests it: The Polish billionaire is active on the energy market and recently He strongly invests in small nuclear reactors (SMR). He believes that they can reverse the situation on the Polish market. – SMR is probably the only available solution that can change our energy mix in the medium period within a year and a half. We invested in technology seven years ago, when no one believed that the atom would come back – said Sołowow. He added that the construction of the first SMR block in Poland will take 28 to 32 months, and subsequent blocks will be able to be built in 24 months. Assuming the construction of five SMR blocks, investment outlays (Capex) can be about 1.8 billion euro for 300 MW of power. – it's about ten times lower Cost than planned in a large nuclear power plant – said Michał Sołowow.
Sołowow is pushing on the energy market: The billionaire said at the conference that he has exclusive to implement this SMR technology in the middle of Europe. He also boasted that his companies have clients on SMR everywhere. As an example, he gave Bulgaria where companiesin which he has shares, they will build a small nuclear reactor for Solvay, an international chemical tycoon. The same reactor in Poland is to be built even earlier.
Sołowow tries his strength on the islands: The billionaire at the conference also informed that his industrial group, which includes Synthos and Orlen Green Energy, leads Conversations with Great Britain authorities regarding participation in the British atomic program. Talks are at an advanced stage and relate to SMR technology analysis. There row He takes into account the BWRX-300 reactors from Ge Hitachi, which is built by Synthos Sołowowa and small reactors from Rolls-Royce.
