On paper, while they are continuously revising up the cost.
You know, just like Flamanville 3 was back in 2005 before they had a 7x cost over run and 13 year delay on a 5 year project.
Try get them to sign a fixed price contract for delivery at said competitive price. We all know they will run scared from the room because otherwise they would be selling their product using that method.
Today they are relying on absolutely enormous government subsidies, where the government both subsidizes the electricity and takes on the project risk.
