The rapid development of renewable energy sources is challenging nuclear power plants. An interesting analysis on this issue was conducted by Bloomberg.
As part of its series “International Energy Press”, WysokieNapiecie.pl discusses the problem highlighted by Bloomberg regarding the relationship between RES and nuclear power.
The development of green sources translates into a reduction in demand for energy produced by nuclear power plants. This is strongly related to the pressure to extinguish such power plants.
In addition, it should be remembered that during periods when power production from RES is at its highest, and at the same time industrial demand falls – for example, on weekends – green energy is able to cover a sizable portion of electricity demand.
Meanwhile, this does not change the plans of many countries to invest in nuclear power plants.
