Too bad this also slows down their renewable energy projects, which would make it cheaper. But Nuclear Reactors + renewables is a bad combination. Nuclear Reactors can't be adjusted to renewable energy, because you can't just shut them down when the renewables producing lots of cheap energy. Nuclear Plants always have to keep running, which is also expensive.
