Sweden’s center-right coalition government said Wednesday it will present legislation that will enable the construction of new nuclear power stations, SIA refers to foreign media.
“We are now changing the legislation, making it possible to build more reactors in more places than is possible today,” Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson told at a press conference.
It was unclear when the government will present the law proposal.
Sweden’s environmental law sets a cap of 10 reactors, and new nuclear power plants may only be built in places where there are already reactors. The government want these provisions to be removed. The plan is to have the amendment enter into force in March 2024.
There are currently six nuclear reactors at three locations: Forsmark, Oskarshamn and Ringhals.
Romina Pourmokhtari, the minister in charge of climate and environment, said the new reactors may be smaller and must be built where they do the most good.
