Ecologists and the renewable energy sector doubt that the schedule for the closure of the rest of the nuclear power plants will be met after the extension of Almaraz.
Greenpeace considers it foreseeable that the difficulty of disconnecting four reactors at the same time in 2030 will be used as a pretext for new postponements.
The Spanish Ministry for Ecological Transition has announced an extension of the Almaraz nuclear power plant's lifespan until June 2030, as published in the Official Gazette on Friday. The ministry insists this extension does not affect the planned closure schedule of Spain's other nuclear power plants. However, some warn that this change may have a ripple effect on the country's remaining nuclear facilities.
