Govt official: No power supply without Paks 2

Hungary will have no long-term secure power supply without the expansion of its sole nuclear plant, Paks 2, and there's no doubt about its competitiveness, Janos Suli, the minister without portfolio responsible for overseeing the project, said on Friday. Speaking at a press conference before the start of a conference on Hungary's long-term electricity supply and the role of nuclear power, Suli said the expansion of the nuclear power plant would not stand in opposition to renewables but the two in tandem would address the question of the country's electricity supply over the long term.
