Slovenia Reverses Decision on Krško 2 Nuclear Referendum

The Slovenian parliament has canceled a consultative referendum on the Krško 2 nuclear power plant, previously set for 24 November

The National Assembly in Ljubljana reversed its initial decision after the parliamentary Committee for Infrastructure, Environment, and Spatial Planning unanimously voted to withdraw the referendum. 

Only two weeks earlier, on 10 October, lawmakers had supported holding the referendum by a significant majority. However, recent developments raised concerns over the likelihood of a favorable vote, as reported by Delo.

The Krško 2 project, known as Jedrska Elektrarna Krško 2 (JEK 2), is a critical component of Slovenia’s long-term energy security plan, especially with the planned 2033 shutdown of the Šoštanj coal-fired power plant (TEŠ), which currently produces about 30% of the nation’s power but is facing financial difficulties.
