Poland’s state-owned nuclear power company and a consortium led by Bechtel and Westinghouse have agreed on the main commercial terms of a deal to build that country’s first nuclear power plant.
The groups on September 23 said the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract, which still must be signed, stipulates that the power station will use three Westinghouse AP1000 Generation III+ pressurized water reactors, with a total 3,750 MW of generation capacity. Both Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe (PEJ), a special purpose vehicle 100% owned by Poland’s state treasury, and the Bechtel-Westinghouse consortium said they are committed to finishing negotiations for the EPC deal by year-end. The companies noted that the agreement “brings together American reactor technology and an American engineering and construction team, working with Polish industry on one of Europe’s most important energy infrastructure projects.”
