" With no new Dutch election required until 2028, the new government is now putting in place the outlines of a concrete nuclear policy that it can set firmly in motion over the next few years. "
This is a country that already has a nuclear power plant .
The government plans to launch a tender and decide what financing role the government will play for the first two planned large reactors by mid-2025, according to the government program. The program reiterates the government’s intention to increase long-term funding for nuclear energy from the Climate Fund by €9.5 billion ($10.6 billion) to a total of €14.1 billion ($15.6 billion).
" The current goal of commissioning the first two reactors by 2035 is very ambitious based on recent construction timelines for nuclear reactors in OECD countries "
By 2025 the government expects to launch a technology tender, make a siting decision and create a project organization and a provisional national-regional package establishing the conditions under which new nuclear can be built for the first two planned reactors.
Lots of ifs , buts and maybes there but given that both sides of government are in favor it looks like some nuclear will be built at some point .
lnteresting to compare it to Australia and the Dud nuclear plan . A country with a nuclear industry that is next door to a bunch of other countries with nuclear industries reckon it'll take at least 10 years to get a nuke built .
Given that Australia has an 82% renewable target by 2030 , it makes you wonder where we'll be by 2035 ?
lt also makes me wonder what renewable plus storage technology will look like by 2035 . Before the Netherlands gets their new nuke commissioned .
SA right now . lt's been over 100% regularly recently . Got to 150% the other day briefly .
