Portugal is at the cheap end of EU prices. Of the ones lower several are just directly setting the price low by government fiat or subsidy.

Countries that have genuinely lower prices either built nuclear 40 years ago, or have great access to hydro they built 40 years ago or a bit of both.

Wanting to build nuclear now for cheap prices doesn't make any sense. It has the same high up front investment shape as renewables, except higher costs.
