What would happen if the NEK is stopped?

State Secretary Tomaž Žagar of the Ministry of Infrastructure confirmed during the television program Svet on Channel A that the supply of electricity to consumers is not currently at risk. Žagar stated that the current level of energy consumption is low enough, ensuring that the existing transmission capacity can meet demand. The primary focus for the energy sector remains the stability of the overall transmission system.

This stability is deemed essential for the continued reliable operation of Slovenia’s power infrastructure, particularly given the prevailing conditions. Central to maintaining this stability is the continuous operation of the Krško Nuclear Power Plant (KNPP). According to Žagar, the operational status of the KNPP is paramount.

Its function is critical not merely for the volume of power generated, but for providing a constant frequency necessary for the smooth management of the grid. This consistent frequency is vital as it enables both the import and export of electricity, linking Slovenia reliably to broader energy markets. Žagar emphasized that the immediate priority is sustaining the stability of the transmission network.

He confirmed that assessments indicate there is sufficient capacity to manage the current energy demands. The consistent functioning of key generating assets, such as the KNPP, is therefore crucial to ensuring that the nation maintains a stable and robust electricity supply moving forward.
