Three tenders received for huge Czech nuclear unit contract

The Czech energy company ČEZ has obtained three tenders for the construction of a new unit at the Dukovany nuclear power station, it said on Wednesday.

As expected, offers have been made by the French company EDF, KHNP from South Korea and Westinghouse from North America. The semi-state ČEZ will now examine the offers before proceeding further.

The new nuclear unit should be completed by 2036. It should be the biggest investment project in Czech history.
