Homepagemarkets-real-timeBullet

The Norwegian energy minister will launch a public inquiry on nuclear power to asses if the technology could meet the country’s future power demand, according to Montel.

  • The energy minister Terje Aasland anticipates the study to take two years.
  • Private developer Norsk Kjernekraft is aiming to install 1.5GW of nuclear capacity from small modular reactors in central Norway.
  • The support for nuclear power in Norway has risen from just 2% in 2017 to 29% in a recent poll by Ipsos.
  • Aasland had opposed plans for nuclear power in Norway but would not object to political guidelines for the investigation.
  • Norwegian power demand is anticipated to increase to 220TWh by 2050, up from about 140TWh presently, according to TSO Statnett’s forecast in 2023.
