nucleareurope presents nuclear financing models at SEII

On 18 April 2024, nucleareurope Communications & Advocacy Director Jessica Johnson was invited to provide an overview of different nuclear financing models during an event organised by the Société Européenne des Ingénieurs et Industriels.  

During her intervention, she highlighted that according to the OECD NEA, there are three financing models typically used, namely government financing (sovreign model), corporate (private model) and project finance (private model).  In this respect, she noted that ownership is no longer the single determinant of a financing model. 

She also presented a couple of illustrative examples including the Mankala model.  In conclusion, she presented several recommendations, as outlined in the report produced by the Investment Framework Task Force.
