In Sweden are planning energy company Vattenfall to close two reactors at the Ringhals nuclear power plant earlier than planned.
According to previous schedules would Ringhals reactors shut down in 2025 – but now Waterfall sight on the years 2018-2020 instead.
The reason is that electricity prices fall and production costs increase, reported Swedish Television.
Vattenfall has two additional reactors at Ringhals, plus three at Forsmark nuclear power plant – and they are scheduled to be operated until the 2040s. In addition, there are also three reactors at the nuclear power plant Oskarshamn.
During the government negotiations in Sweden last autumn promised Green Party to ensure that at least two nuclear reactors shut until until 2018.
The ten nuclear reactors in Sweden account for about 40 percent of energy production.
