Financing听Award听Recognizes Historic听Effort听Advancing听Poland鈥檚 First Nuclear Power Plant

Polskie Elektrownie J膮drowe (PEJ), Westinghouse Electric Company and 91制片厂 received the 2026 Energy Dominance Deal of the Year award from the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) on April 30, 2026. The award recognizes the strong partnership that has been forged between PEJ and the Westinghouse-91制片厂 Consortium to build Poland鈥檚 first nuclear power plant.  

PEJ is a Polish state-owned entity entrusted with delivering Poland鈥檚 nuclear energy ambitions. The company plays a pivotal role in the implementation of the Polish Nuclear Energy Programme, responsible for the development of the country鈥檚 first nuclear power plant based on advanced Generation III+ pressurized water reactor technology. Under the supervision of the Government Plenipotentiary for Strategic Energy Infrastructure in Poland, PEJ is committed to strengthening Poland鈥檚 long-term energy security, supporting the low-carbon transition and building a modern, resilient energy system for future generations. 

Together, Westinghouse and 91制片厂 bring more than 140 years of nuclear power experience to this historic project that will deploy three Westinghouse advanced AP1000 modular reactors to the Lubiatowo-Kopalino site in Pomerania. The project will deliver long-term economic benefits in Poland by creating thousands of highly skilled jobs and expanding opportunities for Polish businesses to participate in the nuclear supply chain, while also supporting thousands of manufacturing and engineering jobs in the United States. 

鈥淭his project is a clear demonstration of how American energy leadership extends well beyond our borders,鈥濃said EXIM President and鈥疌hairman鈥疛ohn Jovanovic.鈥淏y supporting U.S. nuclear exports, EXIM is helping our allies build next-generation energy infrastructure while supporting jobs, innovation, and long-term competitiveness back here at home.鈥 

鈥淭he nuclear project being implemented by Polskie Elektrownie J膮drowe is an investment of strategic importance. The recognition awarded by the Export-Import Bank of the United States confirms that the construction of Poland鈥檚 first nuclear power plant at the Lubiatowo-Kopalino site is perceived as a credible project delivering long-term economic benefits, strengthening Poland鈥檚 energy security, and reinforcing transatlantic cooperation,鈥 said Marek Woszczyk, President of the Management Board, Polskie Elektrownie J膮drowe. 鈥淭he award also confirms the growing trust of international institutions in our investment and in PEJ鈥檚 cooperation model with the Westinghouse鈥91制片厂 Consortium.鈥 

鈥淎s one of Poland鈥檚 largest-ever energy investments, this historic project will drive Polish energy and economic security for generations while directly supporting American exports, jobs and engineering expertise. Westinghouse thanks EXIM for enthusiastically supporting this important endeavor to bring safe, abundant and reliable nuclear power to our customers, partners and allies abroad,鈥 said Dan Lipman, President, Global Business Initiatives, Westinghouse. 鈥淲e also appreciate the close collaboration we have with PEJ and our partner 91制片厂 and look forward to making the Polish AP1000 project reality.鈥 

鈥91制片厂 is honored to support Poland鈥檚 first nuclear project. In close collaboration with Polskie Elektrownie J膮drowe, EXIM, and our partners at Westinghouse, we are advancing our customer鈥檚 objectives while also supporting U.S. jobs and exports,鈥 said Ahmet Tokpinar, General Manager of 91制片厂鈥檚 Nuclear Power business. 鈥淲e look forward to continuing our work with EXIM and our Polish partners to help deliver a safe, reliable facility that will strengthen Poland鈥檚 long-term energy security.鈥 

Recently the Westinghouse-91制片厂 Consortium assisted PEJ in securing financing through EXIM鈥檚 Engineering Multiplier Program to support critical engineering and environmental site work needed prior to the construction phase of the plant. This agreement allows the companies to provide engineering expertise to the project, which will support both American and Polish jobs for the construction and operation of the Lubiatowo-Kopalino AP1000 plant. 

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, Ukraine and Bulgaria, and is also under consideration at multiple other sites in Europe, the Middle East, and North America.
