The meltdown at Fukushima in 2011 has not deterred all nations from building new nuclear plant. According to the World Nuclear Association 31 countries around the world still have plans for new reactors – 65 (representing nearly 70 GWe) are under construction, 173 (182.42 GW) are on order or planned and 337 (379.2 GW) are proposed. In this article, Michael Kruse of Arthur D. Little is quoted as saying: “Since market prices and LCOE are very close, the risks of building a nuclear power plant that is not profitable is very high. Since the market prices are very uncertain at present, it is difficult to justify the investment without any kind of guarantees.” At Hinkley EDF is guaranteed an off-take price of £92.50/MWh for 35 years, giving EDF sufficient stability in its business case, yet it still hesitates in making its FID. “This,” said Kruse, “shows how difficult it is to enter into an investment, which will cover a lifetime of 60 to 80 years.”
