Thanks, will need to find the source again and see if it was indeed 0.1/kWh and not MWh (talking about production costs at a cheaper country with nuclear power plants fully paid for in the past).
EDIT: Just found out production costs from another source:
Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant - 20.31EUR/MWh
Temelin Nuclear Power Plant - 34.52EUR/MWh
- jdross 4y ago10 cents for a megawatt of electricity is an unheard of marginal cost in any situation. your local costs in the US range from 5-25 cents per kilowatt hour (1/1000 of that), with ideal solar being the cheapest amortized at roughly 3 cents/kwh
- bitL 4y agoI just cross-checked the source and the claim by one of their members of parliament was the price was 0.25CZK/MWh which is ~0.01EUR/MWh in fact.
- ravel-bar-foo 4y agoThis suggests that either the MP is incorrect, or they were misquoted, or some sort of accounting shenanigans are going on (infrastructure costs already paid for, etc.)
- bitL 4y agoOne of those for sure. My guess is that the MP was trying to score with their voters and bent the numbers.
