MoU explores future partnership opportunities for Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) fleet deployment using world leading BWRX-300 technology from GE Vernova Hitachi.
The strategic partnership aims to accelerate the deployment of SMRs, driving innovative and sustainable solutions for a carbon-neutral future with reliable and affordable energy.
Collaboration includes consideration of an investment from Samsung C&T into SGE’s international SMR development platform.
Seoul, Korea – December 11, 2025: SGE and Samsung C&T have signed a MoU to collaborate on the deployment of SMRs, marking a significant step toward advancing clean, reliable, and affordable energy solutions. This strategic partnership combines SGE’s expertise in deploying nuclear technologies with Samsung C&T’s global engineering and construction capabilities, aiming to accelerate the rollout of SMRs as a cornerstone of sustainable energy, energy security, and carbon-neutral goals worldwide.
The objective of this partnership is to outline the framework for future cooperation, focused the potential development of SMR projects utilizing GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy’s BWRX-300 technology in the CEE region. To accelerate and expand the rate of SMR deployments in Europe, Samsung is considering a strategic investment into SGE’s development platform.
As part of this collaboration, the parties will share relevant information such as feasibility studies, site data, environmental assessments, and evaluation reports, while leveraging Samsung C&T’s extensive know-how in delivering energy infrastructure projects. Regular updates and executive reviews will ensure transparency and progress monitoring.
Michał Sołowow, owner and founder of SGE said: “Samsung C&T is the world’s leader in energy infrastructure construction. SGE is proud to deepen and align our relationship with Samsung as a potential equity partner. Their proven capabilities in delivering nuclear projects will strengthen SGE’s SMR development platform and accelerate the deployment of safe, sustainable, and cost-effective energy across Europe."
President and CEO of Samsung C&T, Oh Sechul, affirms: “Partnering with SGE strengthens our shared vision of accelerating the deployment of innovative nuclear technologies. Together, we aim to make SMRs a cornerstone of sustainable energy systems, ensuring energy security and driving the global shift toward a carbon-neutral future. We look forward to working closely with SGE to shape the future of clean energy in Europe.”
Internationally, the BWRX-300 is gaining recognition as a leading SMR solution. Two major North American utilities have selected the technology for their projects, with the first plant scheduled for completion in Ontario, Canada, in 2029. This milestone reinforces the global confidence in BWRX-300’s proven design, safety, and cost competitiveness.
About the SGE S.A.
SGE is a European SMR development platform founded in 2018 by Polish entrepreneur Michał Sołowow. The company is a co-investor in the standard design for the world’s most commercially advanced SMR technology: the BWRX-300, designed by GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy. The combination of this proven technology with a disruptive business model has allowed SGE to become Europe’s leading developer of SMR projects. Currently, SGE is establishing partnerships and projects in more than a half-dozen European countries. Their flagship project is in Poland, where, in cooperation with global energy leader ORLEN, they have begun development at three separate sites and are on schedule to complete the first unit by 2032.
About BWRX-300 Technology
The BWRX-300 is a next-generation Small Modular Reactor (SMR) delivering zero-emission, reliable energy from a footprint no larger than a football field. Designed by GE Vernova Hitachi, a leader with nearly 70 years of nuclear expertise, this 10th-generation design combines proven technology with innovative simplification. With passive safety systems, modular construction, and projected capital cost reductions of up to 60% per MW, the BWRX-300 is projected to be the most competitive and quickest-to-market SMR. Compact, safe, and efficient, it represents a major leap forward in affordable, clean energy.
About Samsung C&T Corporation
Samsung C&T Engineering & Construction Group has 50 years of experience operating throughout the world. The group focuses on three key areas: commercial and residential buildings, civil infrastructure, and plant construction. Its landmark projects include the 5,600MW Barakah Nuclear Power Plant, the Burj Khalifa in the UAE, the Petronas Towers in Malaysia, and the Riyadh Metro in Saudi Arabia.
Samsung C&T has been involved in projects like the Shin-Kori Nuclear Power Plant Units 5&6 and has obtained various Korean nuclear certifications (KEPIC) for its construction and quality assurance practices in nuclear power generation.
Notably, Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant in the United Arab Emirates is Samsung C&T's flagship project for exporting Korean nuclear technology overseas. It involves building four nuclear reactors, with the four units are fully operational. The Barakah Plant, with a capacity of 5,600 MW, was South Korea's first successful nuclear export project. Samsung C&T is a key member of "Team Korea," the consortium at Barakah.For more information, visit www.secc.co.kr
