The agreement outlines joint efforts in organizing educational, informational, and promotional initiatives, as well as activities related to preparing accommodation infrastructure for the workforce engaged in the project.
As part of the collaboration, the Pomeranian Development Agency will actively support the integration of Polish companies into the nuclear project's supply chain. The agency will be responsible for distributing up-to-date information to local businesses regarding ongoing and upcoming tenders issued not only by PEJ and the Westinghouse-Bechtel consortium, but also by entities managing key supporting infrastructure investments—such as the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways, PKP Polish Railway Lines, the Maritime Office in Gdynia, and Polish Power Grid (PSE).
To that end, ARP will coordinate a series of information sessions for regional entrepreneurs, featuring procurement experts and specialists in nuclear project requirements and supplier standards.
- The driving force of Pomerania will not only be the energy from Poland’s first nuclear plant but also the local workforce and businesses that play a vital role in this strategic project, said Piotr Piela, acting CEO of Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe. - Our cooperation with the Pomeranian Development Agency marks another step in engaging regional industry. This initiative will strengthen local firms and provide a long-term boost to the regional economy.
ARP will also contribute to assessing the capacity and potential of the local lodging infrastructure, which will be critical throughout all stages of the nuclear plant's construction.
- Our objective is to integrate as many Polish—and especially Pomeranian—companies as possible into the supply chains associated with this major investment, said Sławomir Kosakowski, President of the Pomeranian Development Agency. Equally important is securing adequate housing capacity for the workforce, which at peak construction may reach around 10,000 people on site.
Additionally, the agency will examine investment land near the planned plant site to identify opportunities for related business developments. ARP will also act as a facilitator in establishing links between local enterprises, public authorities, and international stakeholders cooperating with the Westinghouse-Bechtel consortium.
