Four nations say reactors will help EU reach climate goals Strengthening energy independence and security while decarbonising energy production and keeping energy prices affordable will only be possible through the combined use of nuclear and renewable energy, representatives of the four Visegrad countries said in a joint statement.

János Süli, minister without portfolio responsible for the Paks 2 nuclear project in Hungary, and representatives of the Czech, Polish and Slovak governments signed the joint statement during a visit to the Paks nuclear station.

The statement said the Visegrad Group is committed to the use of nuclear energy because nuclear plants can help the EU reach its climate neutrality goals while strengthening security of supply and providing clean electricity at affordable prices.

The four governments called on Brussels to treat nuclear energy as a sustainable energy source in the EU’s sustainable finance taxonomy.
