The Polish government has announced that it will allocate 60 billion zloty (US$15.7 billion) to fund the country’s first nuclear power plant.
The project is being implemented by Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe (PEJ), a company owned by the Polish state, at the Choczewo commune site in Pomerania.
US contractor Bechtel is designing and building the plant, delivering three AP1000 reactors in partnership with Westinghouse Electric Company.
Craig Albert, Bechtel president and COO said, “This historic project will strengthen the country’s energy independence while also creating enormous economic opportunity, including new jobs, the training of a skilled nuclear power workforce, and the establishment of a supply chain with substantial participation by Polish companies.”
