Un cierre en diferido, motivado por el precio del gas y ajeno al apagón: las claves de la prórroga de Almaraz

The Spanish government has postponed the scheduled closure of the two nuclear reactors at the Almaraz nuclear power plant. The shutdowns, originally planned for 2027 and 2028, have been deferred until June 2030.

According to the available reports, this delayed closure is specifically motivated by natural gas prices and is independent of any blackout concerns. The extension establishes a new timeline for the phase-out of the facility's operations.
