摘要

The four reactors under construction at Turkey's first nuclear power facility, the Akkuyu Plant, will be commissioned one per year between 2023 and 2026, Anastasia Zoteeva, CEO of the Akkuyu Nükleer AS project company told Bloomberg on February 8. Zoteeva said the goal is to finish Akkuyu Unit 1 on October 29, 2023, which is the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Republic of Turkey. Completion of Units 2-4 would follow by 2026. The project is waiting for the construction license to be approved for Unit 4. She added that the company, which is majority owned (99.2%) by Russia's Rosatom, would consider discussions with potential investors in the project, which has a power purchase agreement for the first 15 years of each unit's operation.
