Polish billionaire Zygmunt Solorz is considering becoming an investor in a nuclear project in Russia’s Kaliningrad exclave, testing his country’s resolve to cut energy ties with its resource-rich eastern neighbor.
Solorz is betting that his plan -- which includes constructing a power link between the two countries -- would allow Poland to import cheaper electricity and at least partly offset the surging costs of burning coal.
