The establishment of the Center is linked to the construction of Poland's first nuclear power plant in the Pomeranian Region, with three reactors using US AP1000 technology. The Center's task is to train personnel and develop competencies necessary for developing the atomic sector and implementing nuclear projects in Poland. In addition to cooperating with universities, the Center will provide specialised training to support Polish companies interested in gaining knowledge and experience in the nuclear sector.

Nuclear power is an essential element in Poland's energy transition. The realisation of the most significant investment in the history of the Polish electricity system together with US partners is an expression of the Polish-American strategic alliance. Cooperation with the United States will bring Poland closer to achieving climate neutrality and a comprehensive modernisation of the Polish energy sector

– emphasised Deputy Minister Miłosz Motyka.

The Regional Clean Energy Training Center invests in our everyday secure future and the Polish people. It is the first centre of its kind in the world. It will bring technical support from American energy experts to Poland and the region. It will become a vital element of the US-Poland energy partnership. The United States is committed to sustainable energy development and supports Poland in its energy transition process

– noted US Ambassador to Poland Mark Brzezinski.

The Center symbolises a commitment between the United States and Poland that goes far beyond a commercial relationship. This key milestone will provide Poland with the training and resources it needs to build its first nuclear power plant

– said Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for the US Department of Energy's Office of Nuclear Energy, Dr Michael Goff – one of the two most important US nuclear officials.

The Clean Energy Training Center's pivotal role in providing competent human resources is crucial for the successful implementation of the Polish Nuclear Power Programme (PEJ Programme).
In December last year, the national 'Human Resources Development Plan for Nuclear Power' was approved as an implementation document for the PEJ Programme. Its aim is to provide Poland with the quantity and quality of human resources that will guarantee efficient and safe construction and operation of nuclear power plants and to develop a national base of nuclear power experts.
The Center's training courses will be addressed to a broad audience, representing, among others, universities, institutions and companies involved in nuclear projects in Poland. Interest in participating in the CETC training courses has been expressed by Polish universities and companies implementing or planning to implement nuclear projects, regulatory institutions (the National Atomic Energy Agency, the Office of Technical Inspection), research institutes (the National Centre for Nuclear Research, the Institute of Chemistry and Nuclear Technology, the Łukasiewicz Research Network), the Radioactive Waste Neutralisation Plant, as well as national companies from the broader supply chain and industry to prepare for certification, codes, standards and nuclear requirements specific to US technologies.
Nuclear power presents a promising opportunity for the Polish industry, offering the potential for technologically advanced projects. These projects can create stable jobs with high added value, contributing significantly to our economy.
The development of the nuclear sector in Poland may also be an important factor in accelerating technology transfer.

The catalogue 'Polish Industry for the Nuclear Power Sector', published by the Ministry of Climate and Environment, presents more than 300 entities with nuclear competence. Nearly 80 Polish companies have carried out at least one project for the nuclear sector abroad in the last ten years, e.g. for nuclear power plants in Ukraine, Japan and Mexico, while 25 Polish companies worked in Finland on constructing unit 3 at the Olkiluoto Nuclear Power Plant.

The Nuclear Energy Department at the Ministry of Climate and Environment is responsible for coordinating the work of the Clean Energy Training Center on the Polish side. Training plans will be developed annually according to current needs as part of the Steering Committee's work with partners from the US side – the US Department of Energy. These plans will indicate priority thematic areas for specific actors.
Training will take place online or on-site in Poland, the United States, and other nuclear facilities, depending on its form and specificity.
