PGE EJ 1 has given notice of termination of the contract it has concluded with WorleyParsons, the Site Characterisation Contractor for the construction of the first Polish nuclear power plant. Site characterisation will be continued relying on the pool of resources provided by PGE Capital Group and an experienced industry consultant.
Notice of contract termination with the original contractor was submitted on 22 December 2014 due to WorleyParsons’ failure to meet contractual obligations and a delay in execution of works performed under the contract. The decision follows legal and business analyses conducted by the investor and external experts.
The Company will continue site characterisation works relying on the pool of resources existing within PGE Capital Group and in cooperation with national subcontractors already involved in the project.
Site characterisation contracted by PGE EJ 1 has continued since February 2013. The works are conducted simultaneously in two, selected sites in the Pomeranian voivodship: the „Choczewo” site (Choczewo commune) and the „Żarnowiec” site (Gniewino and Krokowa communes). The purpose of the activities is to establish which of the potential sites is the most suitable to host and NPP in terms of environment and nuclear safety. The final decision will be based on the findings of the environmental impact assessment report and the location report.
