The cost for the entire project is estimated at US $ 29.4 billion.

Nuclear power plants are considered to be a national strategic project to cut carbon dioxide emissions into the environment, a goal that is difficult to achieve if it still maintains the production energy source from coal. 94% of Poland and the nation's electricity is 38 million people, mainly relying on huge coal reserves. At the same time reduce energy dependence on other countries. Currently 40% of Ban Lan's gas is imported from Russia.
