Energy Security Strategy of the SR

Defines development and trend of the energy sector by 2030 by ensuring secure, reliable, effective supply of all forms of energies for acceptable prices taking into consideration consumer protection, environmental protection, sustainable development.

According to the Energy Security Strategy of the Slovak Republic, electricity consumption in Slovakia in 2030 could reach up to 43 112 GWh according to the reference scenario (average annual growth of 1,6%) which represents a significant increase in comparison with actual the state

Approved by the Slovak Government - October 2008

Nuclear Programme

Main Projects:

Construction of Units 3 and 4 of NPP Mochovce – expected start of operation 2014 resp. 2015

Decommisioning of Units 1 and 2 of NPP Bohunice – 1. stage of decommisioning started in 2011

Decommissioning of NPP A-1 Bohunice – 2. stage of Decommissioning started in 2009

Works completed on the Feasibility Study and the baseline studies for the project of new nuclear power plant in Jaslovské Bohunice site. This key internal document is an essential basis for further decision-making on preparations for the construction of a new nuclear power plant in Slovakia.

Nuclear Programme

The Programme on Modernization and Improvement of NPP Bohunice V-2 safety completed in 2008

„Mochovce NPP Nuclear Safety Improvement Programme” was developed in the frame of unit 1 and 2 completion project

The severe accident management (SAM) implementation project was initiated in 2009 as the common NPP Bohunice V-2 and NPP Mochovce 1, 2 project with deadline in 2013 in NPP Bohunice and the follow-up implementation in NPP Mochovce 1, 2 (implementation accelerated after the Fukushima, with the new deadline 2015).

Nuclear Programme

After Fukushima- Dai-chi activities:

stress tests conducted at NPP Bohunice V-2, NPP Mochovce 1,2 and NPP Mochovce 3,4

National Action Plan based on results of stress tests evaluated:

The measures, from which some have been already implemented, are divided into the following groups:

- Short-term – to be finished by December 31, 2013

- Medium-term – to be finished by December 31, 2015

- Additional measures, which may result from analyses defined by medium-term measures, will be implemented after 2015
