Yes, its because it is still short of %100 renewables and EU is importing its fossil fuels. When Russia invaded Ukraine it caused a spike in prices, now its coming down. Prices will go down as renewables proliferate, probably we will pay some fixed amount as equipment maintenance fee once its %100.

Our electricity was a lot cheaper when we had more nuclear.

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that dismantling functional nuclear power plants, like they did in Germany and Sweden, has been detrimental for Europe.

Now the same people who were opposing nuclear are saying we should pursue wind and solar. Give me a break.

It's just Germany that shut down a few reactors, their internal politics and has nothing to do with EU or people who want renewables due to climate, ecology or political reasons.

No, Sweden did the same mistake. We shut down ~50% of our reactors and are now paying high prices. Completely unnecessary.

Still domestic politics. You should resolve your grievances with these countries really, I have nothing else to say.

Spain is on the same path: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energ%C3%ADa_nuclear_en_Espa%C...
