What’s next for Polish nuclear energy after the arrests in the Ostrołęka case? "No impact on negotiations"

The investigation into the Ostrołęka coal power plant has led to the arrest of 25 individuals, including Mirosław Kowalik, the president of Westinghouse Poland. Despite these developments, negotiations for Poland's first nuclear power plant are reportedly unaffected and are expected to conclude by the end of the year. The project has faced financial challenges, leading to a shift from coal to gas. Westinghouse maintains that the investigation does not impact their operations in Poland or the ongoing contract negotiations. The Polish Nuclear Power Plants and the Westinghouse-Bechtel consortium are committed to finalizing the EPC contract, with the signing anticipated next year.
