About This Site
Written by NukeWorker from public records: facts that do not change. Operator, status and capacity come from the live data elsewhere on this page. Sources: Wikipedia: Valdecaballeros Nuclear Power Plant; Energías Renovables, 7 January 2020.
Valdecaballeros is an unfinished nuclear power plant in the province of Badajoz, Extremadura. The project began in 1975 with two boiling water reactors of 975 MWe each, and a reservoir was built beside the site to cool them.

Work stopped when Spain halted its nuclear expansion program in the early 1980s, with the two units roughly 60 and 70 percent complete. The 1984 nuclear moratorium kept them idle, and in 1994 the decision was taken never to finish the plant. In 2020 the remaining land and buildings were transferred to the regional government of Extremadura.
