Swiss Government to Lift Ban on New Nuclear Plants, Says Energy Minister Roesti
Aug 28, 2024, 03:30 PM
The Swiss government, based in Bern, Switzerland, has announced plans to lift a ban on constructing new nuclear power plants, which has been in place since 2018. This decision is aimed at strengthening the country's energy supply amid increasing geopolitical tensions. The government rejected the 'Electricity for all at all times' initiative but expressed support for lifting the ban on nuclear construction. Energy Minister Albert Roesti highlighted that new nuclear power plants are a potential solution for ensuring energy security. Switzerland initially decided to phase out atomic energy following the 2011 nuclear accident in Fukushima, Japan.
