Projects

The key strategic project of the GEN energija is the construction of a second nuclear power plant unit in Krško (JEK2). The planned site of the JEK2 is in the direct vicinity of the Krško Nuclear Power Plant. The proposal places it to the west of the existing plant. The technology to be used in the construction of JEK2 is a third-generation pressurised water reactor with an installed capacity of close to 1,100 MW. According to plans the construction of the JEK2 should begin in 2027 and it should start operation in 2033.
