S.KOREAN NUCLEAR FOR POLAND 8.4 GW
N - 22 Apr 2022 - Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP), an affiliate of the South Korean power utility Korea Electric Power Corporation (Kepco), has submitted an offer to the Polish government to build 8.4 GW in nuclear capacities in Poland. The company offers to develop six APR1400 reactors, with the first one to be operational in 2033. The project could be partly financed by South Korea's governmental agencies.
Poland's energy policy until 2040 considers the development of a nuclear power plant (1-1.6 GW) that could start commercial operations in 2033. The government plans to create a special-purpose entity, in which it will keep a 51% interest, to develop nuclear reactors; the remaining 49% would be held by a foreign partner. Five additional nuclear power plants could be launched every two years by 2043; nuclear could cover 10% of the power mix in 2035.
In October 2021, France's EDF submitted to the Polish government a non-binding preliminary offer for a contract for the supply of Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) of four to six EPR reactors in Poland, representing respectively a total installed capacity of 6.6 GW to 9.9 GW distributed over two to three sites.
