The Almaraz extension will leave the decision on its closure in the hands of a future Government
The measure breaks with the agreement between the PSOE and Sumar, and pleases the political parties in the region, municipalities and electric companies.
The Spanish Government has extended the lifespan of the Almaraz nuclear power plant, with the Ministry for Ecological Transition announcing it will remain open until June 2030. The plant's two reactors generate around 7% of Spain's electricity consumption. This decision contradicts the closure schedule agreed upon by the Government's coalition partners. The extension means the plant's closure will now occur under a new administration.
