Poland and Canada have signed an agreement that provides a legal framework for greater cooperation on nuclear power.

The Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, said that once in force, the agreement will deepen ties between Canadian and Polish energy sectors, enabling Canadian companies to apply their nuclear expertise to support Poland’s energy transition and enhance energy security.

Poland, which is working to reduce its dependence on coal, has already chosen Westinghouse Electric to build its first nuclear station in the province of Pomerania on the Baltic Sea coast. Financing has yet to be finalised. Poland is looking to build a second nuclear power plant.

Donald Tusk, the Polish Prime Minister, referenced Westinghouse’s Canadian ownership. He said: “Canada is the main provider of technology for Poland’s first nuclear power plant – Westinghouse is owned by Canadian companies.”
