Nuclear energy is and will continue to be a significant factor in meeting the EU's ambitious decarbonisation and zero-carbon goals. This was stated by the Minister of Energy Andrey Zhivkov in the presence of the participants in the ministerial meeting of the Partnership for Transatlantic Energy and Climate Cooperation (P-TECC), which was held in the Polish capital Warsaw.
