    Poland's energy infrastructure minister Piotr Naimski said on Wednesday that the need to finance the transition from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources is expected to reach 450 billion zlotys ($120 billion)
    by 2045.

    For now, Poland still gets most of its electricity from coal, but it plans to reduce its share
    of electricity production due to rising carbon emission costs.

    Piotr Naimski said in an interview, "The transformation will cost us a lot
    .
    It is difficult to assess
    accurately at this time.
    We preliminarily calculate that the transformation of the power system will cost about PLN 450 billion by 2045
    .

    He added that Poland would close its coal-fired power plants in the next 30 years and replace them with gas-fired power plants, offshore wind farms and nuclear power plants
    .

    Naimski said the first nuclear power plant will be built in northern Poland and the second in central Poland, currently home to Europe's largest lignite power plant, Patnow, from which a third of Poland's electricity comes from
    .

    According to the plan, Poland will start construction of the first nuclear power plant in 2026, and the first nuclear reactor is expected to be operational
    in 2033.
