This Act enables state aid for investment in new nuclear power to be provided in the form of government loans and two-way contracts for difference – a form of hedging arrangement. The state aid is limited, and is planned to include investments of up to a total installed capacity of approximately 5 000 MW, which is equivalent to four large-scale reactors. 
The state aid can only be provided to companies whose sole activity is the construction and operation of new nuclear power reactors. Companies with other activities that wish to apply for aid must therefore establish separate project companies.
As of 1 August 2025, companies seeking to build reactors will be able to apply for state aid.
