Polish Nuclear Power Plants (PEJ) have signed a framework cooperation plan with the American Westinghouse as part of the first nuclear power plant planned in Pomerania with the first reactor in 2033. – The agreement concluded by PEJ and WEC does not concern the business model, or financing. The agreement defines the main principles as well as the next business steps that will be taken by PEJ and WEC in 2023. The model will be selected by the decision of the Council of Ministers, explains the Climate Ministry in a commentary for BiznesAlert.pl.
Our portal informed that various financing models were taken into account, including the Contract for Difference and the SaHo cooperative model developed with the participation of representatives of the ministry. – Currently, analyses are being prepared regarding the investment financing model, which will be defined by the Council of Ministers. The decision on this matter is expected in the second half of 2023. The overriding goal in designing the financing model will be to obtain the lowest possible price of electricity for end users, informs the Ministry of Climate and Environment in a commentary for BiznesAlert.pl.
