Estonia is considering possibility of building own nuclear power plant


Estonia is considering the possibility of building own nuclear power plant, Minister of Economy and Communication of Estonia Juhan Parts said during a press-conference on Feb 28 2008.

The Estonian authorities believe that the possible import of electricity will have a negative effect of the country’s economy. Today, Estonia exports electricity with 95% of energy produced from coal slate. However, in the near future the country is planning to significantly reduce the use of coal slate as it is a big source of carbon dioxide — today, Estonia is one of the biggest producers of carbon dioxide: 14 tons per capita a year.

The final decision is expected to be made this year.
