The Canadian nuclear industry welcomes the signing of the Canada-Poland Nuclear Cooperation Agreement by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk. This landmark agreement strengthens bilateral energy ties and underscores the critical role of nuclear power in securing clean, reliable energy for both nations and their allies.
Once in force, this agreement will open new avenues for Canadian nuclear expertise to support Poland’s energy transition. By enabling Canadian companies to provide world-class nuclear technology, fuel, and services, this partnership will help Poland enhance its clean energy sector, accelerate its coal phase-out, and bolster energy security across the region.
“Nuclear energy is a cornerstone of Canada’s commitment to global energy security. This agreement with Poland exemplifies how Canada can support our allies in building resilient, low-carbon energy systems while fostering economic growth and innovation,” said George Christidis, Interim President & CEO of the Canadian Nuclear Association.
By facilitating the export of Canadian nuclear technology, the agreement will generate high-quality jobs and drive investment in Canada’s nuclear sector, ensuring long-term economic benefits at home while supporting energy resilience abroad.
The Canadian nuclear industry stands ready to collaborate with Polish partners to deliver innovative and sustainable nuclear solutions that will contribute to a cleaner, more secure energy future for Poland, Europe, and beyond.
