Security of supply, affordable energy and sustainability were the main topics of the Business Talks '24 round table discussion, at which the Paks II. project was represented by Chairman-CEO Gergely Jákli. The event, held at the House of Music Hungary, emphasized that if electricity needs to be produced in the forecasted extreme weather conditions, then the stable and reliable nuclear energy is unavoidable.

The same size model as the original was used to test the process used to pour the baseplate’s concrete of the new units.

Europe's largest nuclear power plant investment with an implementation license is an important opportunity for Hungarian construction companies – Gergely Jákli said at the Portfolio conference.

Nuclear energy is the clear solution to today's energy security challenges – the Hungarian Prime Minister said at the first Nuclear Summit.

Work on the Paks project is progressing well, the production of the core-catcher of Unit 5 has been completed, and the first concrete could be poured by the end of the year – the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade announced.

– We hope that the six nuclear power plant units will operate side by side in Paks for at least twenty years – said Minister of Energy Csaba Lantos at the Paks II. construction site.

The Contractor ASE JSC organized a workshop for businesses wishing to join the Paks II. nuclear power plant project.

Sustainability and nuclear energy were the focus of the conference of the Scientific Association for Energy Management in Szeged, where Paks II. was also a prominent topic.

Creating the conditions for the first concrete pour is underway at the Paks II. construction site.

As in previous years, nuclear energy was the stable, reliable base for Hungarian electricity supply in 2023.

The site preparation works for the new unit are progressing well, and Paks II. is also active on the international stage, Chairman-CEO Gergely Jákli said at the Energycon conference in Budapest.

The works of the Paks II. Nuclear Power Plant cut-off wall has been completed. The preparation of the area continues: currently, the soil consolidation is being carried out at the site of the construction.

The parties have signed the roadmap for the coming years, and the Paks expansion is no longer about paperwork, but about the actual construction – Péter Szijjártó announced in Paks.

– We have excavated 1,5 million cubic meters of soil, almost two thirds of the cut-off wall is completed, and last week we started the soil consolidation – Péter Szijjártó said about the latest news of Paks II. in Pécs.

Gergely Jákli, Chairman-CEO of Paks II. and Naoki Chigusa, CEO of WANO met in Budapest.

The international nuclear power plant construction market opens up significant opportunities for Hungarian construction companies, Gergely Jákli said at a meeting of ÉVOSZ (National Association of Construction Contractors).

Without a cardinal increase in nuclear capacities, energy security cannot be guaranteed and climate protection goals cannot be achieved – Péter Szijjártó said at the IAEA General Assembly.

Regarding the investment, all the conditions are given for proceeding at the appropriate pace – emphasized Alexey Likhachev at Paks, after visiting the construction with Levente Magyar and Gergely Jákli.

The Paks II. project has reached another important milestone with the start of the soil excavation for Unit 6 – Péter Szijjártó announced.

The preparatory phase of the project has been closed and it enters the phase of construction
