RWE, Germany's second-biggest power supplier, plans to take part in up to five nuclear power projects outside Germany, its chairman said in a newspaper interview Wednesday.
"RWE will participate in projects outside Germany. It depends on financing and on what partner we find. But I think that three to five (projects) are in the pipeline," chief executive Juergen Grossmann told the daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung.
RWE was one of "a small handful of power suppliers in Europe with competence in nuclear plants," he said.
Earlier this month, Bulgaria chose RWE as the winning bidder for 49-percent stake in the Belene Power Company, which will finance and run a four-billion-euro (5.1-billion-dollar) muclear plant near the northern town of Belene.
