The Czech government expects a tender for the construction of two units at the Dukovany nuclear power plant to be held in late 2016. The Czech Republic has just issued a draft plan of action for nuclear development, including the construction of four nuclear units (two reactors at Dukovany and two at Temelin), which would improve the country's long term energy supply. The government expects national power company ČEZ to establish a subsidiary in charge of preparing the construction of the new unit and to finance the project, reiterating its refusal to guarantee electricity purchase prices; CEZ anticipates construction to start around 2025 and to last seven years, for a commissioning in 2032.
In April 2014 ČEZ decided to cancel procurement procedure for the construction of two 1,000 MW units at its Temelin nuclear power plant in the Czech Republic. The group had suspended the tender procedure until an agreement was reached with the Czech government, when it decided not to provide guarantees or stabilisation mechanism for the construction. The Temelin project was proposed in 2009 and, according to ČEZ, has become economically infeasible due to current electricity market prices. The new units were expected to be commissioned in 2025 at the earliest.
