B-tier. Elektrownia Opole (2×900MW) provides grid strength, but Odra floodplain is a major investor/insurer red flag. Must pass flood DD before any investment.
Odra River basin flood risk — 1997 flood devastated this region. Requires Wody Polskie flood map analysis, site elevation survey, and insurance feasibility before proceeding.

CONDITIONAL — Flood Due Diligence Required
Do NOT proceed without: (a) Wody Polskie flood risk maps, (b) site elevation survey, (c) insurance quote for $1.7B facility. 1997 Odra flood devastated this region. If flood DD passes → B+ with Elektrownia Opole grid strength. If fails → DROP.
