Poland, Choczewo: Poland has taken a key step towards its first nuclear energy infrastructure after the Regional Director of Environmental Protection in Gdańsk issued an environmental decision for a new substation linked to the country’s first nuclear power plant.
The facility, planned by Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne, will be built in the municipality of Choczewo, near the town of Biebrowo. It will be the first substation in Poland designed specifically to receive electricity from a nuclear power plant and feed it into the national grid.
According to the Ministry of Energy, the investment includes construction of a power station covering nearly 21 ha, development of 400 kV transmission infrastructure, integration of the nuclear plant into the national electricity system, and preparation of supporting energy supply facilities.
Electricity from the nuclear plant will be delivered to the substation through block lines built by Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe. From there, power will be transmitted further across the country via three 400 kV transmission lines operated by Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne.
The project is intended to strengthen Poland’s future energy system by enabling large-scale nuclear generation to be safely integrated into the national grid through high-voltage transmission infrastructure.
