A szlovák elektromos művek (Slovenska Elektrarne, SE) és bankok (ING, ERSTE, Société Générale, Intesa Sanpaolo) által alapított konzorcium kilépett a mohi atomerőmű építéséből. A bejelentést zöld szervezetek hosszú kampánya előzte meg, mely a mohi projekt biztonsági és pénzügyi kockázataira hívta fel a figyelmet.
"Végre felébredt a bankok felelősségérzete. A kijelentés fontos üzenetet tartalmaz: a nukleáris energia rizikós üzlet" - mondta Jan Haverkamp, a Greenpeace energia kampányosa.
A szlovák elektromos művek és a bankok megegyeztek, hogy nem fektetik nukleáris projektekbe a pénzt.
The banks(1) and SE have now agreed that no funding would go to nuclear
projects in Slovakia, with the effect that the Slovak state and Italian
utility company ENEL, SE's majority stakeholder (66%), will have to foot
the bill. The nine-bank consortium has pledged an 800 million investment
plan, which will no longer be used to expand the Mochovce plant, setting
back plans to add two reactors designed in the 1970s, several years before
the Chernobyl disaster.(2)
SE has tried to dispute the move, but a spokesperson from the consortium
has reiterated the announcement. "The bank consortium has clearly
understood that the Mochovce project is completely outdated. This is a
clear message for nuclear operators that the risks involved are taken
seriously by the financial world," said Haverkamp.
Greenpeace filed a complaint with the European Commission on 11 April
alleging a breach of competition rules by the Slovak state and market
distortion in favour of SE.(3)
