Szijjarto: Paks upgrade receives another key permit

One of the most serious crises in the world is the energy crisis, Szijjarto said in a video on Facebook, adding that, in the coming years, it will be an advantage if a country is able to produce a substantial part of the energy it uses.

“We, Hungarians, are building the Paks nuclear power plant so that from 2030 we can free ourselves from all uncertainties of the international energy market, and we can maintain our utility price cut scheme in the long run,” Szijjarto said.

The diaphragm wall construction permit (which has already been obtained) and the soil stabilisation permit are the most important prerequisites for the implementation permit of the project, Szijjarto said. After the latter has been obtained, “real construction work” can start, he said.
