Resilience of critical infrastructure

The company stresses that the first nuclear power plant project is one of the most important strategic investments currently under way in Poland, and that developing cooperation between institutions responsible for the security and continuity of key elements of the state lays the foundations for effective collaboration on undertakings of such significance.

– We are building not only modern energy infrastructure, but at the same time a network of partnerships and competences that are already strengthening the resilience of Pomerania. Safety and security are crucial in nuclear energy, which is why cooperation with entities from this field is a natural element of the project for us. The agreement with the 7th Pomeranian Territorial Defence Brigade forms part of our efforts to build the resilience of critical infrastructure and strengthen the country's energy security – says Marek Woszczyk, chief executive of Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe.

Exercises on the future plant site

The key practical element of the agreement is making the investment site available to the military. Training and exercises using the grounds of the planned construction site at Lubiatowo-Kopalino are to be scheduled well in advance and conducted to the highest safety standards.

– Cooperation with Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe is an important opportunity for us to exchange experience and refine procedures that may matter in situations requiring coordinated action. Joint training will allow us to get to know the specifics of the planned plant's site better and to prepare soldiers and PEJ staff for effective cooperation for the sake of security – says Colonel Piotr Jary, commander of the 7th Pomeranian Territorial Defence Brigade.

Education for local communities

The cooperation between PEJ and the Pomeranian territorial defence soldiers will be complemented by educational activities aimed at local communities, promoting knowledge of security-related issues. Poland's first nuclear power plant is being developed at the Lubiatowo-Kopalino site in the coastal municipality of Choczewo. The investor is the state-owned company Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe, and the plant, based on AP1000 technology, will be built by a consortium of Westinghouse and Bechtel.
