本文は、2010年3月5日に米国で発表されたプレスリリースの翻訳です。
【ノースカロライナ州ウィルミントン 2010年3月5日】
GE日立ニュークリア・エナジー（GEH）とポーランド最大の電力会社であるポルスカ・グルパ・エネルゲティチュナ社（PGE：Polska Grupa Energetyczna S.A.）は本日、ポーランドの次世代商用原子力発電所の建設計画に関して協力することで合意しました。
ポーランドは現在、石炭火力発電に大きく依存しており、電源多様化の一環として、原子力発電所を2ヵ所に新設する計画を立てています。また、欧州連合（EU）加盟国は、2020年までにEUの温室効果ガス排出量を1990年のレベルより20%以上削減することで合意しており、発電時において二酸化炭素が発生しない原子力発電は、ポーランドにとって魅力ある電源となっています。
