Together for climate protection!
In the fight against climate change nuclear power plants cannot be ignored.
Background of the project
The story of Paks II. in short
Constructing the facilities of the CEB
During the implementation of the construction and erection base (CEB) of the Paks II. investment, more than 110 facilities are needed to be built there.
1.
Capacity maintenance
The two new Paks NPP units will replace the current ones.
2.
Energy independence
We cannot rely on foreign power plants for our national security of supply.
3.
Supply security
Electricity is always needed: night and day, winter and summer.
4.
Growing electricity demand
The national electricity consumption will rise about 1% per year.
5.
Competitiveness
Cheap electricity is of key importance.
6.
Fixed price
The fixed price means the amount of 12,5 bn EUR of the investment won’t be higher.
7.
Storable fuel
Nuclear fuel can be stored safely, in a small space in huge amounts, and can be bought from several sources.
8.
Affordable electricity
The nuclear power plants contribute to the affordable price of domestic electricity significantly.
9.
Climate friendly
Nuclear power plants cannot be ignored in the fight against climate change.
10.
Safe
The new Paks units will be of the safest, generation 3+ technology.
The system operator measured another domestic electricity consumption record.
In 2021, the former peak gross system load and total annual gross electricity consumption was broken.
The students of the Energy Technical School and College (ESZI) were also able to find out about the opportunities offered by Paks II. Ltd. at the school's career orientation day.
Paks II. Nuclear Power Plant Ltd. submitted the construction license application for the reactor building of Unit 5 on 30 December to the Hungarian Atomic Energy Authority.
