Poland has received two preliminary offers for the construction of its first commercial nuclear power station with one more to follow by the end of the summer as Warsaw prepares to make a final decision on a technology supplier in the autumn.
Piotr Naimski, secretary of state and plenipotentiary of the Polish government for strategic energy infrastructure, said in an interview with Polish legal and business daily newspaper Dziennik Gazeta Prawna that the offers had come from France and South Korea with another due from the US.
The French offer was from state-owned EDF with its EPR technology. The South Korean offer was from state-owned Korea Hydro Nuclear Power (KHNP) with its APR-1400 plant, while the US offer will come from Westinghouse with its AP1000.
