Warsaw (dpa) – The US company Westinghouse has received an order to build Poland’s first nuclear power plant. This was announced by Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki on Saturday evening.

According to the PAP news agency, companies from France and South Korea have also applied for the application. Politicians reported by the People’s News Agency and Polish television stations from the government and the opposition camp in Poland hailed the decision on Saturday as a “good choice” and a “politically correct decision”.

As reported by TVN24 TV news channel, the government in Warsaw has not yet given its official approval, but this is considered certain after Morawiecki’s announcement. The head of government had emphasized the strategic aspect of cooperation with the United States in building a nuclear power plant that night: “A strong alliance is a guarantee of the success of joint initiatives,” he wrote on Twitter. He said the decision came after his talks with US Vice President Kamala Harris and US Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm.

The first two Polish nuclear power plants planned in the Baltic Sea region of Pomerania will be built. According to government announcements, construction is scheduled to begin in 2026. The first reactor is then scheduled to be commissioned in 2033. The government’s plans provide for the construction of three nuclear reactors at two sites. The commissioning is then planned step by step at intervals of two years.
