The United States has submitted to Poland a detailed bilateral roadmap, designed to lead to build six reactors based on US technology. Westinghouse is in competition with Korea Hydro Nuclear Power (KHNP) and EDF. In April 2022, Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP), an affiliate of the South Korean power utility Korea Electric Power Corporation (Kepco), submitted an offer to the Polish government to build 8.4 GW in nuclear capacities in the country.
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.
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.
