Italian energy company Enel, a possible investor in Russia's first nuclear power plant co-owned by foreigners, the Baltic nuclear power plant, has doubts about the validity of its cost estimates, Interfax reported Thursday.
In an interview with Kommersant, Enel chief Fulvio Conti said the company wants to get a sufficient investment return and make sure that electricity will be in demand and will be sold to neighboring markets.
"We are interested in expanding our presence, but we want to have long-term confidence in the market, which we don't have at the moment. However, we are always ready to look for alternative solutions," Conti said.
The plant is expected to be based in Kaliningrad.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
