This newly signed agreement implements the core assumptions of the updated Polish nuclear program adopted by the Council of Ministers on September 29. The cooperation aims at the effective use of both companies' resources and experience.

First Nuclear Power Plant Project

As part of plans to reduce coal dependency, the installation of six large pressurized water reactors is targeted by 2040. The Lubiatowo-Kopalino site in Pomerania was chosen for the first nuclear power plant, and construction is projected to begin in 2028.
