MONTREAL, Nov. 25, 2021 /CNW Telbec/ - Candu Energy Inc., a
member of the SNC-Lavalin Group (TSX: SNC), has won a 12-month,
$8.4 million contract from Romanian
firm, EnergoNuclear S.A., to provide engineering services during
the preparatory stage of a precursor project to complete CANDU
Units 3 & 4 in Romania.
''The potential to develop two new build nuclear reactors
demonstrates that the Romanian government, along with several other
of our public sector clients around the world, recognize that safe,
reliable, affordable, low-carbon nuclear energy is how we will
combat and ultimately, win the battle against climate change,''
said Ian L. Edwards, President and
CEO of SNC-Lavalin.
This contract follows the signing of an intergovernmental
agreement (IGA) between Romania
and the United States in 2020, as
well as a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in August 2021 between Romania and Canada to strengthen and further develop the
cooperation in nuclear energy civil projects and builds on the
55-year relationship between the two countries in developing
nuclear projects.
"We are pleased to expand our relationship with Romania, Societatea Nationala Nuclearelectrica
(SNN), EnergoNuclear S.A. and our US partners for this potential
new build project. Romania is
familiar with CANDU technology since its first two CANDU units came
online in 1996 and 2007 and have been providing reliable power ever
since," said Sandy Taylor,
President, Nuclear. "Expanding their nuclear footprint would help
Romania meet its net zero carbon
commitments."
