Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Will Spain rethink nuclear energy phase-out plan?
Q: When might we expect a decision on extending the licenses for Almaraz and Trillo?
The expectation is that the regulatory assessment concludes in summer, with the ministry issuing a final decision by October or November of the same year.
Will Spain rethink nuclear energy phase-out plan?
Q: Is there political momentum to cancel or extend the phase-out?
Public opinion and several political parties show support for extending operation, but the final decision rests with the government, which has set red lines focusing on safety and electricity security.
Will Spain rethink nuclear energy phase-out plan?
Q: What's the current state of play in Spain regarding nuclear policy and the phase-out?
Spain maintains a phase-out schedule based on a 2019 commissioning protocol, but there is growing interest from owner-companies to extend operation beyond those dates, with regulatory assessment and ministerial decisions still to come.
What should be the target time to build a new nuclear plant?
Q: Do you think that's a realistic target?
Yes, I think that target is more relevant given the increased demand for electricity and the need for decarbonization.
Interviews: Amentum's Andy White plus GLE's Nima Ashkeboussi
Q: What do you see from the industry side? Will there be the skills, the workforce, and the general industrial capacity to meet the growing nuclear energy demand?
