Poland’s Tusk Sees Clean Energy as New Growth Engine for Economy

Prime Minister Donald Tusk said the transition to clean energy sources could fuel Poland’s future economic growth in a sign that his government wants to get serious about weaning the country off coal.

Speaking at the opening of an economic congress in Sopot, Tusk said his government will invest 70 billion zloty ($17.7 billion) to upgrade electricity grid over the next decade, modernize wind farms to add 6 gigawatts of capacity and seek a financial investor for a planned second nuclear power plant.
