"What are the immediate legal and market obstacles to Bavaria securing preferential access to Czech nuclear power, according to energy expert Felix Matthes?"

"Bavarian Minister President Markus Söder's proposal to secure preferential access to Czech nuclear power is deemed unfeasible by energy expert Felix Matthes. Matthes cites technical, market, and legal barriers, highlighting the EU's energy market mechanisms. The plan contradicts the existing market-based system where electricity prices and cross-border capacity are determined by exchanges, not political agreements.", "Söder's initiative aims to improve Bavaria's energy security and prevent industrial decline due to high energy costs and availability issues. He seeks a potential Bavarian participation in Czech nuclear power expansion to achieve more affordable and climate-friendly energy. This contrasts sharply with Matthes' assessment that such political intervention would be immediately prohibited by European institutions.", "Matthes emphasizes the existing EU energy market's efficiency and cost-effectiveness. He underscores the immediate legal obstacles and the long-term risks, such as the potential for radioactive contamination of Bavaria in case of a reactor accident. Söder's plan faces strong criticism from environmental groups and political opponents, raising significant concerns about safety and environmental impact."
