Lithuania is soon to find out which companies are willing to invest in the new nuclear power plant in Visaginas.
According to Baltic News Service sources, the Lithuanian authorities will possibly make an announcement about the investors in early June.
"I think we will have some good news shortly. I know that the Visaginas Nuclear Power Plant is working with potential strategic investors and I believe that we will have more than one offer," Arvydas Sekmokas, the Minister of Energy, announced to reporters after the government’s meeting on May 23, LTV reported.
The Polish newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza said that US Westinghouse finds the Visaginas project "very interesting," but it is not planning to participate in it as a strategic investor, like the Korean Kepco was planning before it withdrew. According to the paper the Americans would like to be a technology supplier.
Sekmokas recently visited the US where, according to Lithuanian media, he met with potential investors for the Visaginas plant and a liquefied natural gas terminal in Klaipeda.
