Resun


Resun AG was a company located in Aarau, Switzerland. Its purpose was to manage the construction of two new nuclear reactors. These are unofficially known as Beznau 3 and Mühleberg 2 from the locations where they should be built. In August 2017 the company was liquidated.
After 2020 the existing plants of Beznau [Nuclear Power Plant|Beznau] and Mühleberg [Nuclear Power Plant|Mühleberg] should cease activity. At the same time some import contracts with France for around 2000 MW will expire. With a combined electrical power output of 3200 MW, the new reactors would prevent the resulting energy gap and satisfy the expected domestic demand increase.
