Westinghouse Receives Award for Commitment to Ukraine
WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Westinghouse Electric Company was recognized on Wednesday, May 24, for
its strong commitment to the economic and democratic development of
Ukraine. The award was presented at the Ukraine Gala, hosted by the
American Center for a European Ukraine in cooperation with the U.S. –
Ukraine Business Council.
โWestinghouse is deeply honored to be recognized by these important
U.S.-Ukrainian organizations, which are committed to advancing the
national interest of Ukraine. We view our relationship with Ukraine as a
partnership, we are not just an investor and supplier,โ said Luc Van
Hulle,ย interim president, EMEA Region. โWestinghouse believes there is
even more that can be accomplished between Westinghouse and Ukraine to
further increase energy security and efficiency, and we look forward to
our continued deepening cooperation.โ
Westinghouse provides up to 30 percent of Ukraineโs power supply by
supplying nuclear fuel.
โWith Ukraine advancing diversification in its nuclear fuel supply in
cooperation with Westinghouse, it now allows other countries in Europe
who remain solely dependent on Russian fuel deliveries to have a strong
technical and economically attractive alternative source of fuel for the
benefit of their energy security and cost competitiveness,โ said Michele
DeWitt, senior vice president, Nuclear Fuel.
