OSGE’ parent company – Synthos Green Energy and Laurentis Energy Partners announced today the signing of a Master Services Agreement (MSA) to support the development and deployment of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) in Poland.
The signing took place at the Ministry of Climate and Environment in Poland, following a meeting between Ontario Canada’s Energy Minister, Todd Smith, and the Polish Undersecretary of State Adam Guibourgé-Czetwertyński. The agreement enables international collaboration between Laurentis and Synthos Green Energy, beginning with early project planning.
“This agreement is proof the world is looking to Ontario as a leader in clean energy and new nuclear technologies – like SMRs – that can provide tremendous economic and environmental opportunities,” said Todd Smith, Ontario’s Minister of Energy. “I congratulate Laurentis and Synthos Green Energy on pursuing global development and energy security in Poland
Based in Canada and with operations in Europe, Laurentis is a wholly-owned commercial subsidiary of Ontario Power Generation (OPG) and a full-scale SMR service provider. It offers expertise on the full development lifecycle of nuclear facilities, ranging from feasibility and planning through construction, commissioning, and operations.
Synthos Green Energy, together with its partner PKN ORLEN S.A., the largest multi-energy company in Central Europe, has established the joint venture (JV) company OSGE which plans to deploy a fleet of GE Hitachi BWRX-300 SMRs in Poland, targeting the first to be in operation by the end of this decade.
“Based on Ontario’s experience with the BWRX-300 project to date, Laurentis is well positioned to provide expertise and support for SMR development in Poland”
said Dominique Minière, President of Laurentis Energy Partners.
“The fact that the BWRX-300 technology has been chosen by experienced utilities from Canada – the country with decades of experience in nuclear business – confirms that we have made the right decisions and that we are on the right track,” said Rafał Kasprów, CEO of Synthos Green Energy and CEO of OSGE. “Working with Canadian entities, such as Laurentis Energy Partners, will allow us to learn from the first planned BWRX-300 deployments in the world, to accelerate project development in Poland”.
