The parties have stated that the two new units under construction in Paks are a guarantee that cheap, climate-friendly electricity will be available in sufficient quantities from domestic sources in the coming decades. In the time of the crisis in Europe, it is especially important that nuclear energy plays an important role not only in security of supply but also in creating price stability and maintaining utility reductions – was said.
