Map of Polish Nuclear Sites
Poland is actively pursuing nuclear energy to enhance its energy security and reduce reliance on coal. The government plans to build several nuclear power plants, with the first expected to be operational by the mid-2030s. The chosen technology includes pressurized water reactors, developed in cooperation with international partners. This transition aligns with Poland’s goal of lowering carbon emissions while ensuring a stable energy supply. Public opinion on nuclear energy is mixed, but many recognize its potential for a cleaner future. If successful, Poland could become a key nuclear energy player in Central Europe. Find out where the country’s nuclear sites are located, and what goes on at each of them, on our interactive map of Polish nuclear sites.
