Denmark is considering lifting its 40-year ban on nuclear energy to better manage its electricity supply and prevent blackouts like those recently experienced in Spain and Portugal. Climate Minister Lars Aagaard announced that the government will spend a year analyzing the implications of reviving nuclear power, particularly focusing on new technologies like small modular reactors (SMRs). With rising energy security concerns and backing from private investors, including a €350mn fund by billionaire Joachim Ante, the debate over nuclear energy’s role in Denmark’s energy mix is intensifying.
