Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe (PEJ) and the Westinghouse-Bechtel consortium signed a bridge agreement (EDA) on Monday, in the presence of Prime Minister Donald Tusk and U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, establishing the framework for further cooperation in the construction of a nuclear power plant in Pomerania.
The Engineering Development Agreement (EDA) includes the continuation of specified design work, such as obtaining necessary administrative decisions, licenses, and permits, as well as the next stage of in-depth geological research at the investment site. The signing of the agreement was necessary due to the expiration of the Engineering Service Contract (ESC) for design services at the beginning of April.
PEJ is a state-owned investor and the future operator of Poland’s first nuclear power plant, which will be built using the Westinghouse AP1000 technology at the Lubiatowo-Kopalino site in Pomerania.
