The European Commission is opening a formal review of Czechia’s proposed support package for building and operating two new nuclear reactors at the Dukovany site. The package includes a large state loan, a 40-year revenue-stabilising contract, and protections against future policy changes that could affect the project. Energy companies, investors, competitors, large electricity users, and public authorities may be affected because the review will decide whether the support is compatible with EU state aid rules. Interested parties have one month from publication to send comments to the Commission.
