New nuclear plants seen constructed by ČEZ or consortium

The Ministry of Industry and Trade has released a proposed programme for the future development of nuclear power which favours either state-controlled power company ČEZ or a consortium of companies building new nuclear plants. A third option, under which a new state company would be created and tasked with construction and operation, is described as very much a last choice. The development programme, which must be approved by the government, counts on at least two new nuclear reactors being constructed at the existing Temelín and Dukovany sites with a possible extra plant at either location.
