On 30 March 2022 KIELTYKA GLADKOWSKI took part in the event organized by the techUK devoted to the future of mobility services. There were discussed the status and potentials of technical and digital development in the mobility sector, with the emphasis on digital aspect.
James Kellett (Co-Founder and Co-CEO, Spot Ship) and James Comley (Senior Consultant, Transport and Logistics, CGI) moderated the panel about emerging technologies. Tom Grundy (CEO, Hybrid Air Vehicles; HAV) presented the idea of Hybrid Air Vehicles. Stephen Douglas (Head of Market Strategy, Spirent Communications), Alfonso Alvarez (Deputy Managing Director, Cellnex UK), Andrew Conway (Director of Solutions & Innovation, BAI Communications UK) and Jamie Potter (Account Director Telecoms, Network Rail) discussed digital infrastructure and connectivity.

Small nuclear reactors (SMR) are units with a capacity of up to about 300 MW, and countries such as Canada, the United States, Great Britain and France invest in them. The technology has been known for many years, but it is controversial. There are three such units in Russia in the world, models manufactured in the USA and Canada are at the stage of obtaining a license. Micro and small nuclear power plants have already been used in submarines and ships in the past. It is estimated that they can become an alternative to large nuclear power plants. They can be used to create energy complexes, the construction time is short (they are delivered to the site of operation). If they prove to be competitively priced, they can become an additional, emission-free source of electricity.
Synthos Green Energy- a pioneer of nuclear change in Poland
On 10 December 2021 there entered into force the amendment of the Polish law on energy. The changes introduced by this amendment, which relate to the principles of tariff calculation, aim to avoid the risk of a single cumulative increase in gas prices for households in 2022, while ensuring that gas sellers can cover their costs of purchasing gas for their customers in the long term. As a result, household gas prices may fall at some point, but revenue will be recovered in subsequent years by applying prices that take account of such latent costs. This means that gas prices in these years will be higher than the current cost of buying this fuel, even if wholesale gas prices fall again.
New tariff system
The new mechanism incorporated to the tariff system is a one-of-a-kind solution deriving from the existing state of the national and European gas markets. It assures that gas sellers can carry forward the present rise in raw material purchase prices over the next few years rather than simply factoring them into the tariff as it is now calculated. Until 30 June 2022, gas sellers may submit to the President of the Polish Office for Energy Regulation a gas sales tariff for households calculated only on the basis of a proportion of the justified costs, i.e. a proportion of the gas procurement costs. On the other hand, the seller will be able to cover the part of the costs not included in the current tariff for the next three years, i.e. until the end of 2025, either from the tariffs applicable from the beginning of 2023, or from the prices and charges set on competitive markets.
