Poland plans to earmark 4.6 billion zloty ($1.2 billion) in the 2025 budget to begin preparations for building the nation’s first nuclear power plant.

Poland needs both renewable energy and nuclear generation to reduce cost of electricity, Finance Minister Andrzej Domanski said in Olsztyn, northeast Poland. He outlined the initial expenditures for what would be the country’s biggest-ever investment days before a cabinet meeting to approve next year’s budget draft.
