GE Plans ‘Aggressive’ Bid to Build Poland’s First Nuclear Plant

GE-Hitachi Nuclear Energy Ltd. said its planned bid to build Poland’s first nuclear power plant will benefit from a project in neighboring Lithuania, allowing it to reduce costs and share materials.

GE-Hitachi is preparing for negotiations with PGE SA, Poland’s largest utility, which will seek a partner to build as much as 3,000 megawatts of nuclear capacity, after Lithuania chose the Wilmington, North Carolina-based company last month to build a replacement for a Soviet-era reactor.
