A letter of interest for US$1.45bn (€1.41bn) in financing from Export Development Canada (EDC) to support the project to build Poland’s first nuclear power plant will help prepare Canada’s nuclear supply chain to support the next AP1000 plant in North America, nuclear plant supplier Westinghouse said.
Westinghouse said it helped facilitate the EDC financing announced on 9 December for Polskie Elektrownie Jadrowe (PEJ), the state-owned company that is responsible for developing the nuclear station.
“Not only does this financing agreement underscore the important role Canada will play in helping Europe secure and diversify its energy future, but it will also help prepare the nation’s nuclear supply chain to support the next AP1000 plant in North America,” said Dan Lipman, president of Westinghouse Energy Systems.
