Lithuania invites Latvia and Estonia to take part in new nuclear plant project

Neverovič informed Latvian Economics Minister Vjačeslavs Dombrovskis that a detailed plan for the establishment, function, and structure of such a company will be available for review by mid-September.

“We see the interim project company as the most acceptable option to help solve outstanding issues and facilitate discussions with the Lithuanian government,” the Lithuanian minister said in a press release.

The Energy Ministry and Japan’s Hitachi on Wednesday signed a memorandum of understanding for joint actions to establish an interim project company, which Latvia and Estonia are invited to join.
