Estonia’s minister: Vilnius must state clearly whether it wants to invest in new nuclear facility

Lithuania’s new nuclear facility project must be economically justified, while a clear position from Lithuania is of critical importance, Juhan Parts, Estonia’s Minister of Economic Affairs and Communications, believes.

“From our point of view, the responsibility of the home country is fundamental. Therefore, I would call on Lithuania’s government to state very clearly whether it wants to invest in this project, or not. If it’s not too clear, it’s very difficult for us or the Estonian company to see this project as an opportunity,” the news portal delfi.lt quoted Parts as saying at a Lithuanian-Estonian business forum.

The minister believes that electricity generated by the nuclear facility shall be competitive.

“It’s not just a cliché. We are developing a common electricity market, so electricity generation must be competitive as compared with energy produced from other resources. It’s the biggest problem of this project. If we do not solve it, it will be very difficult to encourage anyone to invest in this project,” Parts said.
