        Poland's plans to build its first 18-billion euro nuclear power plant will be delayed by new legal hurdles, funding problems and a lack of skilled workers beyond 2022. Currently, coal provides more than 90 % of the country's power needs. Poland had planned two nuclear plants with a total installed capacity of 6,000 megawatts, but in August pushed back its original deadline to 2022.
