Trump Administration and could ultimately accommodate a total ofsix AP-1000s across two sites.
"The strong partnership between our two countries is united by a long history of steadfast friendship and shared values,and I am proud to be here to mark this significant milestone for the United States and Poland," said Energy Secretary Chris Wright."This first of a kind intergovernmental agreement,which began during President Trump's first term,will provide Poland enormous levels of energy security and create tens of thousands of Polish and American jobs.It will truly be ajoint endeavor that will include notjust the construction ofa very large power plant that will power the Polish economy for decades to come,but also marks the start of a long-term nuclear cooperation between the United States and Poland that will result in building future reactors."
The EDA is an important step for the project in Choczewo,Pomeranian Voivodeship and paves the way for the next steps ofthe project,which include design,sitework,regulatory and procurement activities.This Westinghouse AP-1000,already operating in the U.S.,will be constructed by Bechtel as a key partner in the proposed U.S.delivery team.Project construction for the three-unit site in northeastern Poland will generate almost 40,000 well-paying U.S. manufacturing,engineering and relatedjobs that support the project.Actual construction is expected to begin in 2026.
This agreement is also a significant milestone for the U.S.-Poland strategic relationship and underscores the commitment ofthe United States to work with Poland and other partners in the region to advance global energy security.The cooperation between the two countries will strengthen U.S.leadership in Europe and bolster America's position as a secure and reliable provider of civil nuclear energy.
