Circumventing the German nuclear veto

The production price of electricity from the two planned reactors at the Dukovany nuclear plant will be lower than the current price of €90 per MWh, according to PM Petr Fiala. This was very good news, esp. given that Fiala said the price even takes into account all the very unlikely, unrealistic risks that could be involved. Presumably it means that the price also takes into account the risk, as explained by ex-CEO Jaroslav Míl of ČEZ, that the EU Commission will require that the first new reactor not displace electricity generation from renewable-energy sources from Germany. When asked about this last week on Czech TV, Finance Min. Zbyněk Stanjura said (at 6:43pm) that he doesn’t think it will be necessary to limit nuclear production to allow for use of renewable energy. He added, though, that it isn’t productive to hold a passionate debate now about what the operations of the new plant will look like in 2036. If he has a plan for circumventing the German nuclear veto, it’s not yet clear what it is.
