Discussion was so hot that the meeting overran and ended just before midday!
The second edition of SHERATON BUSINESS DEBATES took place in Sopot on 8th May. This topic was really up to date and a serious area of discussion for the region – “Nuclear Power In Gdansk Region: A must or a gimmick?”
Participants had a lot of questions for the speaker Zbigniew Kamieński head of Nuclear Energy Department in Ministry of Economy. He underlined that Poland has to invest in this type of energy and that the Government is determined to launch the first nuclear plant by 2020. It is very challenging date but it is possible.
Jan Kozłowski – marshall of Pomorskie Region explained the benefits for the Gdansk Region if this plant will be constructed here. There are technical and commercial advantages which might be supportive in the context of regional universities, technical parks, etc.
Balancing the national energy system of distribution is an additional issue which may impact on energy prices in the future.
Guests were invited to taste Frittata; a Sheraton breakfast surprise and it turned out that these are delicious and very easy to make!
