CESTA-SYNERGOATOM and EKOPARK S.A. Sign Agreement on Energy Optimization for Lidzbark Warmiński with SMR Technology
On August 2, 2023, in Lidzbark Warmiński, Poland, the CESTA-SYNERGOATOM Platform and EKOPARK S.A. signed an Agreement on the creation of an energy optimization concept for the city and surrounding area, incorporating small modular reactor (SMR) technology.
Signatory Parties
- CESTA-SYNERGOATOM Platform — Bronislav Kulikov, Chairman
- EKOPARK S.A. — Robert Olejnik, President
Purpose
To develop and implement a concept for energy optimization of Lidzbark Warmiński and its surrounding area based on the DAVID small modular reactor system and related energy technologies.
Key Objectives
- Creation of energy optimization concept for the city
- Integration of SMR technology into municipal energy planning
- Development of sustainable energy solutions for the region
- Feasibility study for small-scale nuclear power implementation
Strategic Significance
This agreement marked one of the first practical applications of the CESTA-SYNERGOATOM platform's mandate to promote SMR technologies in Central and Eastern Europe. Lidzbark Warmiński became a potential pilot location for demonstrating the viability of small modular reactors in municipal energy systems.
The involvement of EKOPARK S.A. (a founding member of CESTA-SYNERGOATOM) ensured local coordination and stakeholder engagement for the project development.
