Slovenian state-owned company Gen
Energija, which is planning to invest in a second reactor at the
Krsko nuclear power plant, wants to double the future capacity
of Krsko 2 from the originally planned 1,100 MW and is even
considering building two new units, according to Slovenian news
agency STA, citing Gen Energija chairman Dejan Paravan.
According to Paravan, Gen Energija "pragmatically decided to
broaden the scope of possible variants and pave the way for
stronger units, up to 2,400 MW or, given that this is possible
on the selected site in Vrbina near Krko, or even to decide for
two units."
Legislative changes no longer limit capacity to 1,100 MW,
electricity demand is increasing, neighbouring countries'
interest in becoming co-investors has increased, and larger
capacity broadens the possible range of suppliers, said Paravan.
