Slovenian utility GEN Energija is considering an increase in proposed nuclear new build capacity for the expansion of its existing Krško nuclear power station, site of the country’s single commercial nuclear reactor.
The state-controlled company’s chief executive Dejan Paravan told a conference that installed capacity of up to 2,400 MW is now being considered.
He said “significantly changed circumstances due to the energy crisis” and an increased need for a reliable supply of domestic electricity are behind the proposed change.
