Stable nuclear power, expensive offshore windTwo recent reports and issues caught my attention. One is the Department of Energy (DOE) simplifying the licensing of nuclear power project, the other is the P11/kWh green energy tariff (GET) of offshore wind. This will advance Meralco’s Nuclear Energy Strategic Transition (NEST) program. There is a Nuclear Reactor Technology Assessment and Development, Component 3: RTA (NuRad-RTA) Project which supports the Philippines’ ongoing efforts to evaluate and compare nuclear reactor technologies through the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) RTA framework. I made a rough comparison of countries with high wind power generation and their inflation in Europe and Asia.
