The Czech Republic is still vague about giving electricity price guarantees, something that caused the collapse of a $25bn nuclear tender in 2014. Ukraine looks at Small Modular Reactors. The author starts with the Baltics – net importers of electricity – and Estonia’s ambition to redress that balance using … [Read more...]
