Proposed Nuclear Power Plant at Lubiatowo-Kopalino site

On December 22, 2021, PEJ announced the preferred location for Poland's first commercial nuclear power plant as the Baltic Sea coastal commune of Choczewo in Wejherowo County, Pomeranian Voivodeship at a site called Lubiatowo-Kopalino.[4]

The siting investigation conducted by PGE and PEJ included screening 92 potential locations before detailed studies were conducted two final candidate sties. Two sites in Pomorskie - Żarnowiec and Lubiatowo-Kopalino – were subject to more detailed scrutiny and the results published in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report submitted to the General Director for Environmental Protection on March 29, 2022. The EIA considered multiple reactors generating up to 3,750MWe at the site.[3] On August 22, 2023 PEJ submitted an application to the Head of Pomorskie Voivodeship for issuing a location decision for Poland’s first nuclear power plant, to be built in Pomerania, in Choczewo commune - it is one the key milestones in the administrative process leading to the start of construction of a nuclear facility.

A reactor technology provider has not been selected for the project though several designs have been proposed including the AP1000,[5] APR-1400,[6] and EPR.

Proposed Inland Nuclear Power Plant

A second nuclear power plant at an inland location is being explored to follow the proposed first nuclear power plant on the Baltic Sea coast.
