Choczewo is a village in Wejherowo County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, in northern Poland. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Choczewo. It lies approximately 28 km north-west of Wejherowo and 64 km north-west of the regional capital Gdańsk. Choczewo lies on a disused railway line from Wejherowo to Garczegorze (PKP rail line 230), and had a station on it on the north side of the village. It is home to the Choczewo Municipal Education Team, which is housed in the 18th-century manor house of the von Dzięcielski family in the southern part of the village. For details of the history of the region, see History of Pomerania. In 2011, Choczewo was selected, along with two other sites (Gąski and Żarnowiec), to host the first Polish nuclear power plant, scheduled to be built 9 years later. In 2014, a government study postponed the opening of this first Polish plant to 2024. Then, in early 2015, the Minister of Finance postponed commissioning to 2027. On 22 December 2021, Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe announced the preferred location for Poland's first commercial nuclear power plant at a site called Lubiatowo-Kopalino, northwest to the village.
