According to survey of STEM agency, almost 60% of Czech citizen support further development of nuclear energy, while last year it was only 54%. More than 60% of respondents think that it is necessary to finish NPP Temelin and would be willing to support this decision.
Our view: Although the climate for nuclear energy starts to improve across the whole of EU, the question of adding new blocks to NPP Temelin now depends on the political situation; the centre-right coalition is against building new nuclear blocks within the next four years and any eventual construction is a matter of rather a distant future. Therefore, we see the news as neutral.
