The Polish government’s second nuclear power plant is now expected to built in the location of one of these four existing sites of major coal-fired power generation: Bełchatów, Konin, Kozienice or Połaniec
This paper explores an emerging approach to transform cheap, clean renewable generation by co-locating with symbiotic new industries that can use electricity flexibly and how it could apply in Pueblo, Colorado. The combined resource creates a more dispatchable and reliable electric grid asset.
A special gathering of the Repower Initiative Ecosystem, in Xiamen on the 27th-28th of April, 2024. This event was all about sharing knowledge and experiences across different areas like techno-economic, finance, and policy, with a focus on fostering international collaboration.
On March 28th 2025, 1000 people gathered in Bełchatów, Poland for an event called "From Coal to Atom. Bełchatów of the Future". Attendees included employees of the local power plant and lignite mine, along with government officials and representatives of trade unions, utility companies, universities and research institutes.
A rapid phase-out of coal power is essential to limit global heating to 1.5 degrees. However, the coal-to-clean transition is moving too slowly. Coal-fired power plants are still responsible for 30% of all global CO2 emissions. Coal generation must fall by 11% every year this decade.
Two summits took place in the Silesia region of Poland, in early March 2025, both focused on the Repowering pathway. We are happy to report that these were a success, with much knowledge shared, many new connections and friendships formed, and positive progress!
