A Polish joint venture company has submitted an application for a decision-in-principle on the construction of a nuclear power plant consisting of at least two South Korean-supplied APR1400 reactors with a target date for commercial operation of 2035.
PGE Pak Energia Jadrowa, a joint venture between state energy group PGE and private energy company Ze Pak, said the application was submitted to the Ministry of Climate and Environment for a nuclear power station at a coal site in the Patnow-Konin region of the Wielkopolska province in central Poland.
PGE Pak Energia Jadrowa was formed earlier this year to be responsible for all aspects of the project to build at least two South Korean APR-1400 pressurised water reactor units at the Patnow coal plant site, including an initial feasibility study, site surveys, an environmental impact assessment, licensing procedures and securing of financing.
