POWER: Slovenia to Boost SMR Studies While Advancing 2.4GW JEK2 Nuke Project

POWER

Slovenia’s GEN Energija will intensify SMR studies while continuing preparations for the 2.4GW JEK2 nuclear project, following the postponement of a planned referendum on new nuclear development, Director General Dejan Paravan said, cited by WNN News.

  • GEN will seek detailed information from SMR suppliers.
  • Despite prior assessments favouring larger reactors over SMRs due to project timelines, SMRs remain under review.
  • The JEK2 project plans a one- or two-unit nuclear power plant, near Slovenia’s existing Krsko plant. A final investment decision is expected by 2028.
