While a decision on a new nuclear reactor in Slovenia is still pending, it could be built and running by 2035 if things proceed without hiccups, according to a senior official of Gen Energija, the company which manages Slovenia's only nuclear power station in Krško.

Krško – Blaž Košorok, the new head of GEN Energija, a state-owned power company that manages Slovenia’s half of the Krško Nuclear Power Plant, believes a second reactor in Krško would guarantee reliable and cost effective energy supply. Energy prices will never go back to what they were, he said in an interview with the STA.

Ljubljana – Robert Golob, the long-serving CEO of the indirectly state-owned energy company Gen-I, has said the reason he failed to get endorsed for another term was that the “politics” turned down a decarbonisation plan drawn up by Gen-I and other players.

Ljubljana – The Infrastructure Ministry has issued an energy permit for the construction of the second unit at the Krško nuclear power station, a step that allows permitting procedures to begin and comes a week after the national climate strategy enshrined nuclear as a long-term energy option. The project will be managed by the state-owned Gen Energija.
