E.ON CFO: no economic case for bringing nuclear back in Germany
Adds CFO comments in paragraphs 2-4
FRANKFURT, Nov 14 (Reuters) -E.ON EONGn.DE, one of the German energy firms tasked with decommissioning the country's closed nuclear plants, sees no economic case for bringing them back, its CFO said, responding to such ideas from the CDU conservative party.
Nadia Jakobi, speaking to analysts after presenting nine-month results, said that "there is no economically sensible way of bringing the plants back", chiming withcomments from German peer RWE RWEG.DE a day earlier.
Germany shut down its remaining nuclear plants in spring last year, even though there were calls to keep them running as a way to secure energy supply following Europe's energy crisis.
"Even if things could theoretically, technically be possible if they are not economically sensible there is no point in doing it," Jakobi said.
