WARSAW--The Polish government is committed to building a new coal power plant in southern Poland, the country's prime minister told a conference Thursday.

State-controlled power utility PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna SA (PGE.WA) in April canceled plans to expand its power station in the southern town of Opole, saying that trends in the economy and low power prices have hit its commercial viability.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Thursday the government will nevertheless find a way to get the plant built.
