The Government extends the life of the Almaraz nuclear power plant until 2030 due to the “price volatility” originating in the Middle East
Transición Ecológica mantiene el resto del calendario de cierres hasta 2035
Spain's government has granted a two-and-a-half-year extension to the operating life of the Almaraz nuclear power plant in Cáceres. The Ministry for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge approved the renewal, following a recommendation from the Nuclear Safety Council and a request from the plant's owners, Iberdrola, Endesa, and Naturgy.
The new operating permit for units I and II will now expire on June 8, 2030. The planned shutdown of the plant had been set for November 2027, but this date has been pushed back, while other planned shutdowns up to 2035 remain unchanged.
