Stimulus for the future of territories with nuclear power plants

The commitment to a new energy model and the denuclearisation of Catalonia necessitates a just transition that leaves no territory behind. The impact of the closure of the power plants means the disappearance of direct jobs and affects the economic fabric of the municipalities that surround them.

The Nuclear Transition Fund's business grants are a key tool to promote the development of a new production model with high added value in the municipalities affected by the closure of nuclear plants. They have the following aims:

Reinforcement of the local economy
Job creation and talent retention
Diversification of the business fabric
Rural and environmental development of the territory and the fight against depopulation
Progress towards a fairer and more sustainable energy transition
