Baltic Industrial Group among suppliers for nuclear power plant in Poland
Energomontaż-Północ Gdynia S.A., one of the companies belonging to the Baltic Industrial Group, will be working on the construction of an advanced AP1000® (Advanced-Passive 1000) pressurised water reactor.
The reactor was designed by Westinghouse Electric Company, a member of the consortium building Poland’s first nuclear power plant in Lubiatowo-Kopalin, a project implemented by Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe (PEJ), a company wholly owned by the State Treasury.
As part of its cooperation with Westinghouse, Energomontaż in Gdynia will be responsible for the delivery and construction of a fully stainless steel module – a key component of the AP1000® reactor cooling and safety system.
The trial module project implementation process has been divided into three phases, of which Energomontaż-Północ Gdynia is currently implementing the first phase of the project, adapting the management system to the requirements of NQA-1. Before the actual construction work can begin, it is necessary to implement the appropriate quality standards and construct a trial structure. This will prepare the company to meet WEC requirements by increasing local content.
‘Energomontaż-Północ Gdynia has many years of experience in the implementation of complex industrial projects, including in the nuclear energy sector,’ says Adam Kowalski, President of the Management Board of the Baltic Industrial Group.
The Baltic Industrial Group’s involvement in such a prestigious project is a strategic opportunity for development in the nuclear energy sector.
‘Our presence in the supply chain of one of the most promising and demanding segments of the energy industry in the world will ensure a stable future for our company for years to come. This is an opportunity for development not only in the nuclear energy sector, but also in the area of stainless steel construction,’ adds Adam Kowalski.
In connection with the project, investments are planned in the development of the company’s infrastructure, which will increase its attractiveness and interest among new customers.
In 2026, after the completion of the mock-up construction stage, work will begin on adapting the production hall for stainless steel processing. The investment includes the purchase of modern machinery, including rolling mills and a CNC laser cutter. This modernisation will enable the company to carry out highly specialised industrial projects that meet the most stringent standards of the nuclear industry.
In the nuclear energy sector, Energomontaż-Północ Gdynia is currently implementing a quality system based on American NQA-1 standards. The implementation of the project will lay the foundation for long-term cooperation with Westinghouse in the construction of further reactors around the world, using AP1000 technology.
In Poland, a nuclear power plant is to be built in the Pomeranian Province, in the municipality of Choczewo. Power will be generated by three AP1000 reactors. The total capacity will be 3.75 GWe. In the longer term, there are also plans to implement a quality assurance system for organisations supplying products and services to the nuclear industry in accordance with ISO 19443. This will allow for the expansion of cooperation with European partners in this sector.
Last year, EPG underwent a pre-audit by Bureau Veritas for compliance with ISO 19443. The next step is the full implementation of this European standard and obtaining a positive result in the certification audit. Meeting these requirements will open the way for EPG to cooperate with the largest partners on the European market, including Electricite de France (EDF), with which talks are already underway.
The nuclear energy sector is part of the Baltic Industrial Group’s Development Strategy for 2025–2035. Thanks to this commitment, the Group is consistently strengthening its position as a leader in the field of modern, sustainable energy.
