excluding both nuclear and CCS technologies, ‘VRE -- no nucl. no CCS’, coupled with an assumption of stagnation in renewables' cost reduction and negative public opinion on onshore wind, emerges as highly non-competitive due to both significantly larger electricity prices and system costs. Arguably, this points towards technology inclusiveness being a prerequisite for achieving decarbonization of the Polish power system. Notably, the power systems with a high degree of installed nuclear power emerge as the one with least reliance to transmission infrastructure as well as minimal use of land and critical minerals. This underscores that nuclear power in the Polish system has the potential to free up land to use in other purposes and reduce reliance on an expanded transmission infrastructure, a prospect further enhanced by the possibility of repurposing coal sites for nuclear power. To further facilitate rapid deployment of fossil free energy enabling drastic emissions reductions following the coal phase-out. Ultimately, this study has given rise to the policy recommendations listed below
