en.Wedoany.com Reported - Dutch transmission system operator TenneT has determined in a confidential advisory report that the Eemshaven port in Groningen province is the only technically feasible and economically viable site in the country for the construction of two new nuclear power units.

Previously considered candidates, Borssele and Vlissingen in Zeeland province, have both been ruled out, while Terneuzen in Zeeland remains an alternative but is not recommended.

TenneT noted that Eemshaven is prioritized due to its existing power transmission infrastructure and cross-border electricity export conditions, while also proposing the decentralized deployment of small nuclear power units as an alternative approach, though this falls under political decision-making. The Dutch cabinet will send a letter to the House of Representatives this Friday detailing the nuclear power plan, with State Secretary for Climate and Green Growth Jo-Annes de Bat providing explanations in The Hague. Zeeland authorities expressed disappointment over Borssele's exclusion, while Groningen officials feel betrayed after being told that Eemshaven was only added "as a formality in the legal process," leading to divided opinions among local political circles.

The recommendation is based on technical assessments, with a TenneT spokesperson emphasizing that it does not involve political choices. The final site selection still awaits the government's official decision and subsequent permitting procedures.
