Arabelle Solutions Turbine and Generator Selected for Poland's First Nuclear Power Plant

Bechtel and Westinghouse tap Arabelle Solutions to supply steam turbine and key auxiliary components

Bechtel and Westinghouse Electric Company have chosen Arabelle Solutions to supply three half-speed Arabelle steam turbine and generator sets for the AP1000® nuclear project in Poland. The selection was confirmed by Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe (PEJ), the Polish state-owned company developing the country's first nuclear power plant at the Choczewo site in Pomerania.

Arabelle Solutions will provide the steam turbine and generator systems for all three units at the Choczewo nuclear plant, along with the major supporting equipment needed to run the steam cycle. In a nuclear power plant, heat from the reactor turns water into steam, which spins a turbine and generator to produce electricity.

"This is an important milestone and reflects the strong partnerships required to deliver Poland's first nuclear power plant," said Ed Gore, Project Director, Poland AP1000 Project, Bechtel. "Arabelle Solutions brings deep regional capabilities and provides opportunities for Polish producers to participate in this project. We are proud to apply Bechtel's world-class construction expertise to support the energy transition of Poland."

"As a result of a transparent, competitive and extremely demanding procurement process, a supplier of one of the largest components of the conventional part of our power plant was selected. The procurement process itself, in which PEJ participated, was based on the highest technical and quality standards. We have chosen a partner who guarantees experience, and above all reliability and a wide chain of suppliers - largely Polish," said Marek Woszczyk, President of the Management Board of Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe.

Arabelle Solutions, firmly established in Poland, works with a broad network of Polish suppliers on international projects, including manufacturers of equipment designed for its steam turbines and generators. The company also supports Poland's growing nuclear workforce through its strategic partnership with the Warsaw University of Technology.

"We are proud to partner with Bechtel and Westinghouse Electric Company to deliver the turbine hall equipment for the first nuclear power plant in Poland, contributing to providing reliable, low-carbon electricity to the country," said Catherine Cornand, Chief Executive Officer, Arabelle Solutions. "This project reflects both the trust of our partners and the commitment of our teams to carry forward our long-standing expertise and legacy of innovation to meet the world's growing energy needs. We aim to develop further Polish supply chain in cooperation with our AP 1000 partners and Government programs to enhance this industrial base and deliver the skills for the future."

The selection follows a rigorous procurement process evaluating both technical and financial criteria. Arabelle Solutions will adapt its standard steam turbine design for the Turbine Island at the Choczewo site, with fabrication expected to begin after the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) agreement for the project is finalized.

"The choice of Arabelle Solutions for the project's steam turbine generator is a strong complement to the AP1000® reactor, the most advanced, proven technology that is setting operational and performance records at six operational units worldwide," said Dan Lipman, President of Westinghouse Energy Systems. "Having such a major European supplier involved in the project underscores Westinghouse-Bechtel consortium 'Buy Where We Build' philosophy and our commitment to having Polish companies participating throughout the entire project."

Together, Bechtel and Westinghouse bring more than 140 years of nuclear power experience to bring Poland's first nuclear plant online at Choczewo. The project includes building three proven Westinghouse AP1000 units, the only advanced operating Generation III+ reactors with fully passive safety systems, modular construction design and the smallest footprint per MWe on the market. Currently, there are six AP1000 reactors setting operational performance and availability records worldwide with twelve additional reactors under construction and five more under contract. There will be 18 units based on AP1000 technology in operation globally by the end of the decade.
