Economy Minister Confirms End of Germany's Resistance to Nuclear Power at EU Level

  • In May 2025, German Economy Minister Katherina Reiche announced that Germany and France had reached an understanding to ease their opposition to backing new nuclear power technologies within the EU framework.
  • This policy shift followed Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s earlier decision to remove Germany’s opposition to nuclear energy funding in EU legislation, aligning with France’s longstanding support.
  • Germany continues to rule out restarting conventional nuclear power domestically after its 2023 phase-out but supports nuclear fusion research and emphasizes renewables in its energy strategy.
  • Reiche highlighted that the taxonomy prioritizes investments in technologies that produce little to no CO2 emissions, underscoring the EU’s commitment to supporting climate-neutral solutions.
  • The change may enable EU funds to support new nuclear projects, easing previous blockades, but Germany maintains internal obstacles and opposition to nuclear restarts remains strong.
