„The working group headed by Energy Minister Jaroslav Neverovic will have their final proposals ready in late March. (The proposals) are planned to be submitted to the government in early April,“ Daiva Rimasauskaite, an Energy Ministry official, told BNS on Monday.
Prime Minister Algirdas Butkevicius told reporters earlier in the day that he did not yet have experts' conclusions on the Visaginas project.
The prime minister mentioned earlier that economic estimates regarding the project and its benefits would be available in late March and that in April all information would be presented to Lithuania's potential partners in the project.
Butkevicius' Social Democratic Party has criticized the previous center-right government's project for building a new 1,350-megawatt nuclear power plant by 2020 to 2022 together with Baltic energy companies and Japan's Hitachi.
The majority of Lithuanian voters did not back the project in a non-binding referendum last October.
