Slovenské Elektrárne said in a statement that the law, if passed, will force losses on the company because the proposed tax amounts would exceed expected profits over 2022 and 2023.
Slovenské Elektrárne expects to see profits of €92m in 2022 and €320m in 2023, while the proposed tax is estimated at €207m for 2022 and €608m for 2023.
Branislav Strýček, the company’s chief executive, said the new tax, coupled with €3.7bn of debts incurred in the past, in part for the construction of Mochovce-3 and -4, will deter shareholders and investors from continuing to finance the projects.
