\nI den brittiska tidningen The Guardian finns en artikel<\/a> om k\u00e4rnkraftverket Hinkley Point C<\/a> som franska EDF<\/a> nu b\u00f6rjat bygga.<\/b>
\nDen \u00e4r intressant p\u00e5 m\u00e5nga s\u00e4tt. Det \u00e4r t.ex samma typ av anl\u00e4ggning kallad EPR<\/a> som v\u00e5ra grannar i Finland bygger – Olkilouto 3 – som nu \u00e4r nio \u00e5r f\u00f6rsenad<\/a> och blir v\u00e4ldigt, v\u00e4ldigt dyr.
\nPriset p\u00e5 elstr\u00f6m fr\u00e5n Hinkley blir h\u00f6gt – just nu ca \u00a3100 per MWh vilket motsvarar 1 kr per kWh – och r\u00e4knas hela tiden upp med inflationen vilket kan bli extra k\u00e4nnbart efter Brexit som \u00f6kat<\/a> den:<\/p>\n

Given its commitment to building Hinkley Point C, the government had no choice but to make EDF an offer that was too good to resist. It offered to guarantee EDF a fixed price for each unit of energy produced at Hinkley for its first 35 years of operation. In 2012, the guaranteed price \u2013 known as the \u201cstrike price\u201d \u2013 was set at \u00a392.50 per megawatt hour (MWh), which would then rise with inflation.<\/p>\n

\nOne of the most serious concerns in the EU\u2019s assessment was over the calculations for the \u201cgap\u201d between the wholesale energy price and the strike price. That gap is currently around \u00a350.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Men s\u00e5 hade EDF goda kontakter n\u00e4r garantipriset f\u00f6rhandlades fram:<\/p>\n

In short, a division of a company employed by EDF was advising the UK government how much to pay EDF. The Department of Energy & Climate Change first identified the potential conflict of interest in 2012, but it wasn\u2019t until August 2015 that the department sent a letter to LeighFisher asking the company to ensure \u201corganisational separation\u201d on the project. The government also requested monthly updates on the arrangements, but the NAO says it did not receive these. In October 2015, two years after the strike price was agreed, LeighFisher signed the agreement for organisational separation, which included \u201cethical wall arrangements\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Projektet \u00e4r redan f\u00f6rsenat och f\u00f6rdyrat:<\/p>\n

There had been a storm the night before my visit, and the site was a series of muddy puddles. As the bus made its way around, it became increasingly clear that the development was nowhere near where it was projected to be. \u201cTo be honest, it is just a lot of earth at the moment,\u201d said one of the tour guides, staring out of the window. (\u201cEDF was saying we would be cooking our Christmas turkeys on Hinkley electricity this year, and now they are clinging on to the 2025 dates,\u201d says Prof MacKerron. A few days before my visit to Hinkley Point, EDF had admitted it was at least \u00a31.5bn over budget, and that the project could be completed 15 months behind schedule.)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Men man t\u00e4nker f\u00f6rst\u00e5s p\u00e5 fladderm\u00f6ssen t.ex barbastellerna<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Some of the logistical difficulties involved in building Hinkley Point C are so elaborate that they resemble satire. This part of Somerset is home to a flourishing population of at least eight different sorts of bat, including one of the last remaining colonies of barbastelle bats, which are protected by strict wildlife laws. EDF were given permission to cut down the trees that are home to the bats, only on the condition that they would be replaced by movable trees in huge boxes. Every morning, the \u201cbat trees\u201d are dragged out of the way for construction work, and every night they are moved back so the bats can find their specially built house. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Portabla fladdermustr\u00e4d – genialiskt! Tyv\u00e4rr fungerade det inte och en milj\u00f6fond<\/a> fick ist\u00e4llet f\u00f6rs\u00f6ka r\u00e4dda djuren.<\/strong>
