Poland and Canada Forge Nuclear Power Agreement
Poland and Canada have signed a pact to enhance cooperation in nuclear energy, with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announcing the deal on Tuesday.
Poland is transitioning away from coal and has selected Westinghouse Electric, a Canadian company, to build its first nuclear plant on the Baltic Sea coast, though financing is still being finalized.
The country is also moving forward with plans for a second plant and is exploring small modular reactors (SMRs), with the goal of deploying 24 SMR units by 2030. Tusk highlighted the importance of energy diversification in Poland’s ambition to lead in modern technologies, including artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, to become a key hub for data centers in Europe.
