Climate action

Nuclear energy is a low-carbon energy source contributing to the decarbonisation of the power system and society. The decline in energy-related CO2 emissions from fossil fuels at global level is essential in the fight against climate change. As a result, nuclear energy is part of the solution to achieve climate neutrality.

NEK is the largest source of low-carbon electrical energy in Slovenia.
