Mr Lintilä said Finland faces the challenge of achieving climate neutrality and “without nuclear energy in Europe, we cannot be carbon neutral and self-sufficient”.

“It is a question of continuing to operate existing nuclear power plants, as in the case of Fortum’s requests to continue operating units at Loviisa, or building new power plants.”
