Polskie Elektrownie Jadrowy (PEJ) has applied to Poland's Ministry of Climate for a decision-in-principle on the construction of the country's first large NPP, while metals company KGHM Polska Miedz has applied to the Ministry for a decision-in-principle on construction of a small modular reactor (SMR) power plant. The applications came after the adoption of an updated nuclear energy law allowing such applications to be submitted at the beginning of the process. This ensures state support for any project before any significant investment is made. A decision-in-principle formally confirms that investment in a plant is in line with public interest and the state policies, including energy policy.

A joint special purpose vehicle, PGE PAK Energia Jadrowa SA (PPEJ), has been set up by Polish public company ZE PAK (Zespól Elektrowni Patnów-Adam-Konin SA) and Polska Grupa Energetyczna (PGE) – both Treasury owned – to implement the project to construct a NPP in Patnów in central Poland. The plant will comprise two APR1400 reactors supplied by Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP). The company was established just five months after the letter of intent was signed Seoul between PGE, ZE PAK and KHNP. PGE and ZE PAK will each own 50% of the shares in PGE PAK Energia Nuclear, which will secure the interest of the Polish Treasury in the project.
