The companies, among other international investors, have been partners with SN Nuclearelectrica for the development of units 3 and 4 of the nuclear plant since 2008.
According to the companies, economic and market uncertainties surrounding this project are not reconcilable now with the capital requirements of a new nuclear power project.
Because of the uncertainty about power demand growth in the future and lack of a clear regulatory framework, the companies decided not to continue their participation in the project.
RWE, Iberdrola and GDF Suez will pursue their commitment to develop new nuclear power projects abroad.
