During the meeting, Minister Paulina Hennig-Kloska emphasised that the new government is fully committed to the energy transition. Nuclear energy is an integral part of this process and will be an essential part of Poland's future energy mix. The Minister also stressed the importance of timely project implementation to build Poland's first nuclear power plant.

The issues related to building competence and human resources for nuclear power in Poland and the involvement of the Polish industry in implementing this investment were also addressed.

The Polish Government expects broad involvement of Polish companies in the nuclear power plant construction project, according to their experience and competencies. This will create a new industry sector in Poland and generate new jobs

– said Minister of Climate and Environment Paulina Hennig-Kloska.


Poland sees the nuclear power plant construction project as an opportunity for the development and expansion of the Polish industry, both based on participation in the Polish project and, in the longer term, entry into global supply chains for the nuclear industry

– she added.


As part of the ‘Polish Nuclear Power Programme,’ a consortium of Westinghouse and Bechtel will build the first power plant with three reactors using US AP1000 technology at the Lubiatowo-Kopalino location in Pomerania.
