Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) submitted on 29 April a binding offer for the construction of new nuclear units in the Czech Republic.

The South Korean state company said on social media that in addition to a planned fifth unit at the Dukovany nuclear site, the offer includes binding options for three additional units –Dukovany-6 and Temelín-3 and Temelín-4.

KHNP said the bid will now be reviewed by Czech state power company ČEZ and the government, which will then announce the preferred bidder of the tender.

The offer from KHNP was announced as France’s state energy company EDF submitted an updated offer for the delivery of up to four new nuclear power units in the Czech Republic.
