Warsaw planning first three reactor units in Pomerania.
Finland-based TVO Nuclear Services (TVONS) and Fortum have signed a two-year framework agreement with Polish Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe (PEJ), a state-owned company responsible for the construction project of the first nuclear power plant in Poland.
The companies will support PEJ in the development of operation and maintenance processes of Poland’s first nuclear power station.
TVONS and Fortum will provide technical support for the licensing and design phase of the station and help PEJ develop it capabilities to become an operator of a nuclear power plant.
PEJ is responsible for the preparation of the investment process for the construction of the first Polish nuclear power station in Pomerania. In November 2022, Warsaw chose Westinghouse to supply its AP1000 reactor technology for the three-unit facility.
The first unit is scheduled to be online in 2033 as set in Warsaw’s 2020 nuclear energy programme while the start of construction is earmarked for 2026.
TVONS is a subsidiary of Finnish nuclear power company Teollisuuden Voima Oyj, which owns and operates the three-unit Olkiluoto nuclear power station. Finland-based Fortum owns and operates Finand’s only other nuclear power station, the two-unit Loviisa.
