The transformation of the Polish energy sector is a necessity stemming from both established climate goals and the need to ensure the country's energy security. Faced with the ongoing depletion of domestic coal-fired power plants (CFPPs) (many units are over 50 years old) and increasingly stringent environmental regulations, a gradual shift away from fossil fuels…
波兰能源部门的转型既是既定气候目标的必然要求，也是确保国家能源安全所必需的。面对国内燃煤电厂（CFPPs）的持续老化（许多机组已使用超过50年）以及日益严格的环境法规，逐步摆脱化石燃料、转向低排放能源至关重要。与此同时，转型必须以确保国家电力系统（KSE）的稳定性、保障能源供应安全以及保持可接受的总体经济成本为前提。这要求以协调一致的方式替代燃煤发电，对于那些经济状况往往与当地燃料和能源产业紧密相连的地区，最好在转型过程中遵循“公正转型”的要求。实际上，这意味着要提升核能的作用，因为如果不投资建设核电站，在维持长期经济增长的同时实现气候目标可能难以实现。 应通过新建核电机组来替代燃煤电厂的装机容量，以提升核能占比，且新建机组最好选址于现有燃煤电厂所在地或其附近。这种方法既能实现气候目标，又能维持当地经济的持续健康发展。利用现有的输电基础设施和当地基础设施要素，有助于降低核电站的建设成本。此类投资符合“煤转核”（C2N）转型理念。该理念在全球范围内日益受到推崇，尤其在那些经济发展的基础源于煤炭在能源领域的重要作用、如今又面临经济脱碳需求的地区。 为阐明“煤转核”转型的实际应用，DEsire项目开展了初步可行性研究。这些研究涵盖了三项潜在投资，其中两项为棕地改造项目，一项为直接投资。研究对象包括科济涅采电厂、多尔纳奥德拉电厂，以及奥波莱电厂正在运行的900兆瓦机组之一。这些分析旨在考察在现实的现场条件下投资流程如何推进，以及可能取得哪些技术和经济成果。研究团队制定了场地开发方案和投资时间表，涵盖了从分析阶段、获取许可，到新建核系统施工和调试的所有关键阶段。 这些研究报告已翻译成英文和中文，现可在我们的网站上独家查阅。 📄 KM4.1 Kozienice - 科泽尼采 - Chinese.pdf 📄 KM4.1 Kozienice_No. 1 - 科济涅采 - 第1号 Chinese.pdf 📄 KM4.1 Kozienice_No. 2 - 科济涅采 - 第2号 - Chinese.pdf 📄 KM4.1 Kozienice_No. 3 - 科济涅采 - 第3号 - Chinese.pdf 由“Repower Initiative”提供的非约束性非官方译文 本预可行性研究报告由DEsire项目团队撰写。 点击此处了解更多关于他们的工作.
This IEA report analyses the rapid growth of global electricity demand as electrification accelerates across industry, transport and buildings. It also highlights rising demand from AI, data centres and other fast-growing technologies. The report provides forecasts for electricity demand, supply and CO₂ emissions by country, region and globally for the period 2026–2030. It also examines…
Authors: Daiwei Li, Hongyu Zhang, Ying Zhou, Sheng Zhou, Siyue Guo, Junling Huang, Xiliang Zhang This academic paper analyses the role that coal-to-nuclear conversion could play in China’s electricity system decarbonisation. Using a provincial-level power system model, the study integrates coal-to-nuclear conversion constraints and differentiates between multiple nuclear reactor types to assess long-term system impacts…
Authors: Ying Zhou, Dai-Wei Li, Shi-Ping Ma, Bo-Qun Lyu, Sheng Zhou, Cheng-Zhe Yu, Jun-Ling Huang, Xi-Liang Zhang This academic paper assesses the potential for coal-to-nuclear (C2N) conversion in China as part of a low-carbon energy transition. It develops a comprehensive database of China’s coal-fired power plants and applies a GIS-based screening framework using constraints related…
The World Energy Outlook 2025 is the IEA’s flagship assessment of global energy system trends, policy trajectories, and technology pathways. Its analysis provides essential context for coal repowering by highlighting the scale, timing, and system-level constraints shaping the transition away from unabated fossil fuel power.
This Human Rights Watch report documents the human and public health impacts of coal-fired power generation in Bulgaria, focusing on air pollution linked to the Maritsa 3 coal plant. It provides critical evidence on why coal transitions must prioritise both rapid emissions reductions and the protection of communities living near legacy coal infrastructure.
Researchers in China, policy teams in Indonesia, engineers and academics in Poland, and academic partners across South Korea, India and beyond are now connected in a way that simply didn’t exist a few years ago.
This NEA study assesses the global potential for deploying small modular reactors (SMRs) at existing coal power plant sites. It examines the technical, policy, and workforce conditions under which coal-to-nuclear repowering could deliver reliable, low-carbon electricity while preserving jobs and existing energy infrastructure.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) hosted a webinar on the potential of transforming former coal plant sites into clean energy hubs powered by nuclear technology. Repower Initiative’s founder Dr. Staffan Qvist attended as a panellist. A video recording of his presentation is available for you to watch online.
Dr. Staffan Qvist, the founder of the Repower Initiative was asked this question at an IAEA webinar. This is his response.
This report by the Coal Transmission Commission, released for COP30 in Brazil, addresses the knowledge gap that currently exists around the role of coal flexibility in coal-to-clean transitions. The report concludes that, in some circumstances, operating coal assets in a flexible way could support a more rapid integration of renewables in the near term.
