Briefly: Two independent reports on Poland\u2019s planned Ostro\u0142\u0119ka C will be released today by our Polish colleagues. The reports were developed by scholars and professionals of the power industry, and present a risk analysis, a critique of the investment analysis and environmental issues, and alternative solutions for the Polish energy sector. This is a clear signal for stockholders of Energa and Enea companies that investing in Ostro\u0142\u0119ka C is irrational in business terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Points
Experts are warning investors that they will be gambling with terrible odds if they support the planned Ostro\u0142\u0119ka C coal power plant in Poland,<\/strong> as the plant is not only facing huge cost overruns for it to meet emissions rules before construction has even begun; but it will also be competing with lower-cost renewables in a power market which does not guarantee it funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ostro\u0142\u0119ka C also makes absolutely no sense for workers,<\/strong> as investing in renewable energy rather than a new coal plant will create at least 45% more jobs in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Analysis of this project shows that investing in new coal in Poland will be a total waste of money that creates far more problems than benefits<\/strong>. It will lead to a significant rise is health problems for people and healthcare costs for the state, it will create fewer jobs than clean, renewable alternatives, and it will leave investors will a high risk of being stuck  with a stranded asset.

 Quotes<\/strong>
“The Ostro\u0142\u0119ka C power plant is an entirely irrational project in the context of the global transformation of the power industry. It will also damage chances for the real development of this region” – prof. Jan Popczyk of the Silesian University of Technology<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experts are warning investors that they will be gambling with terrible odds if they place their bets on Poland\u2019s planned new Ostro\u0142\u0119ka C #coal plant, calling it \u201cfinancially irrational\u201d (and that\u2019s putting it lightly!) [WEBSITE LINK] [GRAPHIC]\n\n\n\n

Investing in renewables instead of the new Ostro\u0142\u0119ka C #coal plant in Poland will result in 45%-1200% more jobs. New coal will be a disaster for Poland, for its workers, for community health, and for investors. [WEBSITE LINK] [GRAPHIC]\n\n\n\n
