The Government Has Decided on a Preferred Supplier for the New Nuclear Power Source at Dukovany
The Government has taken another significant step towards the construction of new nuclear power sources in the Czech Republic. At its meeting on Wednesday, 17 July 2024, it confirmed the selection of Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Company (KHNP) as the preferred contractor for this strategically important project. Based on the bids from two bidders, France's EdF and Korea's KHNP, and their careful evaluation, the Government also decided to start negotiations on the construction of two units at the Dukovany site and on the possibility of contracting binding options for additional new sources at Temelín. This project will ensure the energy security and self-sufficiency of the Czech Republic for several decades to come. The government's decision on the preferred bidder will strengthen the country's energy independence and offer huge opportunities for domestic industry and the economy.
