Spain has five nuclear power plants providing 20 percent of its electricity.

Under the country's nuclear phase-out plans, the remaining plants will be closed over the next decade .

Calls are growing for Spain to follow in the footsteps of other European countries that are reviving nuclear power.

The price of electricity in Spain could rise by 23 percent for domestic consumers and by 35 percent for businesses.
