International WPNE Workshop on the

Role of Electricity Price Stability and Long-Term Financing for Nuclear New Build

The one-day workshop held at the OECD Headquarters in Paris on 19 September 2013, brought together some of the leading experts in the economics and financing of energy infrastructures and new nuclear plants. It served to take stock of new analytical work as well as of current practical experiences and gathered nearly 75 invited experts from academic, industry, international organisations and government.
