  • Korlević claims the center would consume half of Croatia’s electricity, requiring two large power plants to supply it.
  • He believes most of the money will not stay in Croatia, as equipment and services will be provided by foreign companies.
  • He warns of potential electricity price increases for citizens, as happened in the US state of Georgia.
