Poland’s first nuclear power plant has taken a significant step forward as Polish suppliers join the project, following initial orders placed by Westinghouse in October, operator PEJ said today.

• Contracts include meeting nuclear safety standards, preparing documentation, and producing components for AP1000 reactor modules.
• Westinghouse emphasised building a strong Polish supply chain and supporting the project in collaboration with its consortium partner, Bechtel.
• Additionally, PEJ aims for significant domestic participation in the supply chain to maximise local economic benefits.
• Poland is eyeing a total nuclear capacity of around 6-9GW in the upcoming decades, with the first reactor coming online by 2035.
