Days after Poland chose Westinghouse to supply its AP1000 technology to the country’s first nuclear plant in Pomerania, northern Poland, the government and two Polish energy firms signed a letter of intent with Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) to “push ahead” with development of a second nuclear plant based on APR1400 technology in Pątnów, central Poland.
ZE PAK, one of Poland’s largest private energy groups, and PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna (PGE), a massive integrated energy firm majority-owned by Poland’s government, and KHNP on Oct. 31 said they would jointly assess cooperative opportunities on the construction of the Pątnów plant.
