Third terminal in the Baltic Hub

11 Apr, 2023

WSP invited us to implement an EBRD project, consisting in supervising the construction works of the third Baltic Hub terminal (T3) in Gdańsk. This largest multimodal terminal in Poland reloads thousands of containers with goods from different parts of the world to trains and trucks. The expansion of the Baltic Hub with T3 will increase its capacity and support ultra-large container ships. This is important because this type of transport is environmentally friendly. The EBRD contributed financially to the project which met the Bank’s requirements for Green Economy Transition projects. In the project, Anita plays the role of a local social expert. Supervision is carried out through cyclical verification of documents and field inspections, interviews and a press reviews and social media and will last throughout the whole expansion period of the Baltic Hub and for the first year after the commissioning of T3.

The official closing of the Green City Action Plan in Wałbrzych

6 Mar, 2023

Today, the GCAP project for Wałbrzych was officially closed. The ceremony was attended by representatives of the EBRD, the Embassy of Taiwan, the Ministry of Finance and the Wałbrzych Economic Zone. “It is a pleasure to work with such a well-organized city team. They know what they want and they take decisions and action immediately” Anita says.
The presentation of the completed project took place in Stara Kopalnia in Wałbrzych – a revitalized coal mine, which has become a tourist and local attraction. Now the city is going to implement GCAP, which means that the authorities of Wałbrzych will have to actively seek financing.
“Wałbrzych is tirelessly working to change its image from a polluted industrial city to a tourist attraction and a good place to live for its inhabitants. I hope that it will be able to reverse the demographic trend and attract young people, who will choose it as a place to settle down after graduation or move here from other parts of Poland. The city of Wałbrzych is unique because of its natural surroundings, the proximity of the Czech border, and its historical heritage with Książ Castle and the Old Town. I’ll spend the long weekend in May there, and someday… maybe I’ll move to Wałbrzych” – says Anita.

#AtomInAction – we write for Deloitte

20 Jan, 2023

“Nuclear energy. Types of reactors, operation and construction of power plants” is the first article in the #AtomInAction series of publications on nuclear energy. Together with energy experts from Deloitte, we will present the subject of atomic energy in terms of technology, implementation and occupational safety.
Nuclear energy is a particularly hot topic today. On the one hand, we hear about accepting the offer of the American company Westinghouse to build a nuclear power plant in Pomerania and the signing of a letter of intent by KHNP-ZE PAK-PGE regarding the construction of a nuclear power plant on the premises of ZE PAK. On the other hand, there is energy crisis caused by the war in Ukraine and the embargo on imports of energy resources from Russia. In this context, a nuclear plant, a zero-emission source capable of delivering energy regardless of weather conditions and ensuring a stable price, appears to be a solution to the country’s energy problems.
“The share of nuclear power plants in electricity production in Europe was around 25% in 2020, with a share in installed capacity of around 12% (Eurostat data). Thirteen countries in the European Union have nuclear power plants. Countries such as France (67%) and Slovakia (54%) have the largest share of electricity produced from nuclear energy”. Przemysław Żydak, board member/co-owner of Sotis Advisors.
