Czech Republic-based energy provider ČEZ has launched a tender for the construction of a new nuclear power plant in Dukovany.
The new Dukovany unit will be built next to the existing power plant and will eventually replace some of the power being generated.
After completing the security assessments, the Czech Ministry of Industry and Trade gave consent to the three bidders; namely American Westinghouse, the French EDF and the Korean company KHNP.
Bidders must submit introductory bids by the end of November this year. ČEZ will then process and assess the bids and submit an evaluation report to the state for approval.
The contracts will be finalized in 2024.
