Designing Energy Services for Commercial and Industrial Customers

Over the past year, technology advances and high energy prices have stimulated interest in Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI). Discussions are wide-ranging. Some focus globally: Australian and Canadian “smart metering”, new European Union requirements, the results of time-of-use pilots that arose in the wake of California’s deregulation debacle.

Baltic Scientists Get Involved in Feasibility Study of New Nuclear Reactor

Jun 5, 2006 12:46 PM
Eesti Energia

Three Baltic energy companies have proposed recruitment of scientists for a feasibility study on the construction of a new nuclear reactor in Lithuania.

On March 8, Lietuvos Energija AB, Eesti Energija and Latvenergo signed a memorandum of understanding to begin the feasibility study. Last month, representatives of the companies met in Riga where the steering committee approved a Scientific Advisory Committee to give opinions on the working group reports. The scientific committee is to help the steering committee members make decisions on the proposed solutions and to elaborate on the construction of the nuclear unit in the working groups.

The Scientific Advisory Committee will consist of representatives from Kaunas Technical University and Lithuanian Energy Institute, Latvian scientists - by Latvian Academy of Sciences, and Estonian scientists - by Estonian Academy of Science.

The feasibility study will evaluate technologies for the nuclear plant and its environmental impact, geological research and evaluation of a possible construction site for the power plant.
