Krško Nuclear Power Plant operations and expansion

Overview

The Krško Nuclear Power Plant is managing current operational challenges while preparing for future expansion. During extreme summer heat and historic hydrological droughts, the plant maintained high efficiency despite river temperatures reaching 30 °C. To comply with environmental regulations, the facility operated at reduced capacities of 80 percent and 90 percent during specific periods in August, though it remained a vital buffer for the regional power grid.

Simultaneously, preparations for the construction of the plant’s second unit (Jek 2) are advancing. Following government decisions on spatial planning, logistics studies have identified the Port of Koper as the primary entry point for heavy components. Technical proposals for the new unit include the construction of a natural draft cooling tower, which is designed for earthquake resistance and long-term cost efficiency, despite local concerns regarding its visual impact on the landscape.
