Swiss utility Axpo has restarted unit 2 of the Beznau nuclear plant after a scheduled refuelling outage and closures caused by high Aar river temperatures during summer 2026. The plant's operation is closely overseen by the Swiss Federal Nuclear Safety Inspectorate, with unit 2 expected to reach full power shortly after gradual resumption.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.
