PEJ relocates headquarters to Pomerania. A strategic step in Poland’s nuclear power development
Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe (PEJ) is strengthening its presence in Pomerania, the region where Poland’s first nuclear power plant is being built. The company recently opened a new office in Gdańsk and decided to relocate its headquarters to the region, marking a strategic move with operational and economic implications.
In brief
Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe has opened an office in Gdańsk at 11 Jana z Kolna Street and decided to relocate its headquarters to Pomerania. By the end of the year, more than 50 people responsible for security, procurement, the local supply chain, investment delivery and occupational health and safety will work in the Gdańsk office of Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe. Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe CEO Marek Woszczyk called the move a natural step arising from the needs of the project. The second stage of preparatory works will start in 2026, and the permit application was submitted to the Pomeranian Voivode in September 2025.
Bringing project management closer to the site
The decision to establish a Gdańsk office and move the headquarters stems from the increasing pace of project development and the need for a permanent on-site project team.
- We want the heart of this project to beat here – in Pomerania, close to the construction site. Opening the office sends a clear signal to residents and local businesses: we are here with you, building a local supply chain and creating new, highly specialized jobs - said Wojciech Wrochna, Secretary of State and Government Plenipotentiary for Strategic Energy Infrastructure.
Marek Woszczyk, CEO of PEJ, added: - Relocating our headquarters to Gdańsk is a natural step dictated by project needs. This is where Poland’s first nuclear power plant is being built, and we want to be as close as possible to partners, local authorities, and the communities contributing to this strategic initiative. Our move will streamline the delivery of the Polish nuclear program.
Gdańsk as the operational hub
PEJ’s Gdańsk office, located at ul. Jana z Kolna 11, will host over 50 employees by the end of the year, covering key areas such as safety, procurement, support for local content, project execution, auxiliary infrastructure, and occupational health and safety.
PEJ’s presence in Pomerania extends beyond the Gdańsk office. For years, the company has operated a local information point in Choczewo and maintained teams on the project site. Employment in the region will gradually increase as the project progresses, with initial recruitment already underway to strengthen the Pomeranian team.
Project preparations enter the next phase
PEJ has completed the first stage of preparatory works at the future plant site, including tree and shrub removal and site clearance. The next steps will involve fencing and leveling the area.
In 2026, the second stage of preparatory works is planned, including the construction of essential infrastructure: technical and social buildings, vehicle wash facilities, roads, parking areas, warehouses, and concrete batching plants. The company submitted a permit application for this stage to the Pomeranian Voivode in September 2025.
Strengthening Pomerania’s role in Poland’s nuclear program
Opening the Gdańsk office and relocating the headquarters is more than a logistical move. It strengthens the local economy, boosts employment, and integrates the strategic project with the region. The local information point in Choczewo has been operational since 2013, serving as a link between PEJ, local authorities, and residents.
The expansion of the team and the headquarters relocation demonstrate that Poland’s first nuclear power project is entering a new phase, with Pomerania becoming its operational center.
