Westinghouse Electric Company has signed memorandums of understanding (MoUs) with nine companies in Czechia, covering cooperation on the potential deployment of an AP1000 nuclear reactor for the Dukovany-5 project as well as other potential AP1000 projects in Central Europe. These MOUs add to the seven agreements signed with local companies in the Czech Republic in January 2022.
In March 2022, the Czech power utility ČEZ, through its affiliate Elektrárna Dukovany II (EDU II), launched a tender for the construction of a new 1.2 GW nuclear power plant in Dukovany (Dukovany-5). EdF, KHNP and Westinghouse are prequalified for the tender. The bidders are expected to submit their initial bids by the end of November 2022, and they will have 20 months to prepare their final bids. After that, the bids will be evaluated by ČEZ, and the evaluation report will then be submitted for state approval. The contracts will be finalised in 2024. Construction is scheduled to start in 2029, and commissioning is expected in 2036.
