Lubiatowo-Kopalino nuclear project starts component ordering process
PEJ has instructed Westinghouse to start ordering long-lead components for the planned power station’s first unit.
Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe has instructed Westinghouse to start the ordering process for long-lead components for the first Lubiatowo-Kopalino unit. The energy ministry reported the decision on 8 October.
A new preparation milestone
Long Lead Items require lengthy manufacturing and delivery preparation. The process falls under the existing Engineering Development Agreement.
Why ordering starts early
The minister’s statement identified 2036 as the target for electricity from the first reactor. This is a stated schedule, not confirmation of commissioning or a guarantee that all work will finish by a particular date.
What it means for consumers
The key distinction for readers is between ordering equipment and producing electricity. This update concerns supply chains and investment preparation; it does not announce a change in household tariffs.
