15 nuclear power plants planned in Brazil

Angra I and II generate electric energy for R $ 98.64 / MWh, which is not built power plant Angra III will exceed these costs with 138 R $ / MWh pretty. Despite plans to Eletronuclear fifteen more nuclear power plants by 2035 to meet the energy needs of Brazil's needs. This requires approximately U.S. $ 30 billion investment, he that shall deliver! Angra II, incidentally cost R $ 10 billion, of which R $ 7 billion has been "burned" for interest. Shortly after the inauguration of Angra II, the cost of the energy released by nuclear fission 45 R $. Per MWh compared to then 35 R $ per MWh of a hydroelectric plant The necessary investments were estimated at 6000 U.S. $ / kW for a nuclear power plant compared to 100 U.S. $ / kW for a hydroelectric power plant.

For 2005, the cost of producing electricity are by nuclear power plants at 20 to 50 U.S. $ / MWh for coal plants, they can be specified with 25 to 60 U.S. $ / MWh and for natural gas power plants, there are 37 to 60 U.S. MWh $ /. Source: World Nuclear Association. You know the way, what's good about the WNA? They do not confuse with MW MWh or MW / h like our Brazilian press.

Whether the nuclear power plants will be built and whether it will then be but hydroelectric and natural gas power plants, definitely going on here on a good chance for specialized foreign suppliers.
