The Czech government reportedly said the signing of a contract for a new nuclear power plant project with South Korea’s Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power(KHNP) may be postponed until after the general elections in October.

Reuters issued the report on Tuesday, citing the European country’s local CTK news agency.

According to the report, Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala said Tuesday that the signing of the contract may be postponed until after the Czech parliamentary elections in October, while the completion date for the first unit of the nuclear power plant remains set for 2036.

KHNP was scheduled to sign the contract on May 7 with Elektrárna Dukovany II, a subsidiary of the Czech Republic’s main electricity firm, CEZ.

However, it has been delayed due to a court injunction in the Czech Republic, with the court deciding the deal cannot be signed until it rules on a complaint from the losing bidder, France’s EDF.

KHNP and Elektrárna Dukovany II have filed an appeal with the Czech Supreme Administrative Court.
