Poland will begin selecting a partner to provide the technology for its planned second nuclear power station next month, more than six months ahead of schedule.

Deputy industry minister Wojciech Wrochna had previously said the process would start in January.

In 2022, Warsaw chose Westinghouse to supply its AP1000 pressurised water reactor technology for its first commercial nuclear project on the Baltic Sea coast, northwest of Gdansk in the province of Pomerania.
