The Polish government could complete an audit of the country’s first nuclear power plant project in “a couple of weeks”, according to the recently appointed undersecretary of state for strategic energy infrastructure Maciej Bando.

The audit follows reports that Poland’s new coalition government led by Donald Tusk and officials have said contracts related to the new-build project signed by the previous government would be reviewed.

Bando told the BiznesAlert energy portal that “it seems” the current project partner, a consortium between US-based Westinghouse Electric and Bechtel, is “the most optimal option”.
