Planning to Form a Consortium for the Project
The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) had a meeting on Nov. 9 and decided to form a consortium and formulate detailed plans so that their nuclear power plant construction project in Patnow, Poland can proceed well.
KHNP signed a letter of intent on Oct. 31 with Polish private energy company ZEPAK and state-run power company PGE. According to it, KHNP will build two, three or four APR1400-based nuclear power plants in Patnow. Specifics are yet to be determined, and the South Korean government is planning to turn the LOI into a final contract for more detailed planning.
The government is also planning to form a project team regarding the El Dabaa Nuclear Power Plant in Egypt. KHNP and Atomstroyexport JSC signed a contract in August for subcontract work there.
