Westinghouse-Bechtel and PEJ Agree on Main Commercial Terms to Deliver First Polish Nuclear Power Plant

The agreement advances negotiations on the EPC contract for the construction of a three-unit AP1000® plant in Pomerania

Cranberry Township, PA, September 23, 2026 - The Westinghouse-Bechtel consortium and Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe (PEJ) have agreed on the main commercial and legal terms of the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract that will deliver Poland's first nuclear power plant.

Reaching agreement on these terms advances the project to the next stage of EPC negotiations by providing a framework to pave the way for negotiating further specific elements of the contract and its exhibits and to finalize the remaining terms by year-end. The project will construct a three-unit AP1000® plant that will generate significant economic benefits for Poland, including the creation of highly skilled jobs that will be needed for several generations and opportunities for local companies to participate in AP1000 projects in the region and globally.

"With this agreement, we continue our close partnership with PEJ for the delivery of our proven, advanced AP1000 reactor for this historic project," said Dan Lipman, President of Global Business Initiatives, Westinghouse. "The proven, advanced AP1000 reactor will provide Poland with abundant, reliable energy, contribute billions of zlotys to its economy and create thousands of jobs in both countries during construction and operation. We look forward to strengthening this partnership for decades to come."

The advanced AP1000 reactor is the only operating Generation III+ reactor with fully passive safety systems, modular construction design and the smallest footprint per MWe on the market. There are six AP1000 reactors currently setting operational performance and availability records worldwide with 14 additional reactors under construction and five more under contract. The AP1000 technology has been selected for nuclear energy programs in Poland, Bulgaria and Ukraine and is also under consideration at multiple other sites in Europe, the Middle East and North America.
