WARSAW (Reuters) - Plans to build Poland's first nuclear power plant will be delayed by at least another two years, sources said, after the decision late last year by state-run utility PGE to take on site research itself and cancel a consultancy contract.
The project, expected to cost between $10 billion (6.82 billion pounds) and $15 billion, was first touted in 2009 as part of a drive to find alternatives to coal-fired power. Since then it has been delayed as falling power prices weakened its economic case and Japan's 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident hit public support.
