Abstract
Nuclear energy is a source of reliable, low-carbon electricity, and it is widely recognized that its role must grow in reducing carbon dioxide emissions to mitigate the effects of climate change. One of the main obstacles to the necessary expansion is the challenge of securing competitive financing for new nuclear power plants. A nuclear power plant as an investment facility does not fundamentally differ from investment in any large infrastructure project. It is characterized by high initial capital costs and a long construction period followed by a long payback period. However, there are several features specific to nuclear projects that present special considerations for investors. This article presents an analysis of the specifics of investments in regulated and deregulated markets, as well as the social significance of nuclear energy.
