Czech government might delay its nuclear power expansion plans

Reuters 29th Oct 2018 The Czech government may delay its decision for state-controlled utility
CEZ to build new reactors at its two nuclear power plants, Industry
Minister Marta Novakova was quoted as saying on Monday.

“The decision about building nuclear units can’t be done under pressure and we don’t
want to be put under pressure from suppliers or other entities,” Novakova
said in an interview published by Bloomberg. “The Finance Ministry is
also analyzing the risk of potential court disputes.” The project to
expand CEZ’s nuclear power plant fleet is the biggest investment ever
into Czech energy. CEZ operates two plants at Dukovany and Temelin that
together covered 38 percent of Czech energy needs last year.
