WARSAW--Poland will continue its nuclear power program despite falling electricity prices and a slump in consumption amid an economic slowdown, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Tuesday.

State-controlled PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna SA (PGE.WA) has been made the leader of the program to build Poland's first nuclear power plant.

Nuclear power needs to be part of Poland's energy mix which will also include shale gas and brown coal, Mr. Tusk told a press conference.
