Türkiye’s first nuclear power plant, the Akkuyu NPP, which Russia’s Rosatom is currently constructing, will begin generating dividends from electricity sales after 2035, Rosatom Energy International (REIN), the project manager, has stated in its annual report. A full return on all investments in the project is expected by the end of 2039.
REIN specializes in managing international projects for the construction and operation of Russian-designed nuclear power plants (NPPs) based on equity ownership in project companies and is responsible for the arrangement of financing and ensuring return on investment and profitability of funds invested in projects within agreed budgets and schedules. The company was appointed the competency manager for promoting, marketing, and contracting Rosatom products in Türkiye in 2022.
However, REIN itself does not earn revenue or profits. The company conducts activities aimed at financing investment projects abroad and in Russia.
The Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant is Turkey’s first nuclear power facility, currently under construction in the Büyükçekmece district of Mersin Province. Once operational, it is expected to contribute around 10% of Turkey’s total electricity generation and become the largest source of low-carbon energy in the country. Akkuyu is Rosatom’s first build-own-operate project abroad and is 100% owned through the state-owned corporation’s subsidiaries.
