The state-owned company charged with deploying Poland’s first nuclear power station will be expanding geological studies over the entire project site on the country’s Baltic coast this spring, while also aiming to conclude negotiations on a next-stage contract with contractors Westinghouse and Bechtel.

Piotr Piela, president of Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe (PEJ), told the Baltic Nuclear Energy Forum (BNEF) in Gdansk on 18 March that geological studies that started in May 2024 in a limited area of 30-40 hectares will now expand to cover an area of about 400 hectares and the Baltic seabed in the vicinity of the site.
