Aiyana Research, a specialist, global energy research house has released a PDF detailing the Russian State-Owned Nuclear Power company, Rosatom, and its investments and completed projects during 2024.
This details all Rosatom’s confirmed investments during the period and includes specific data on Nuclear Power Plants (NPP), Floating Nuclear Power Plants, (FNPP) Nuclear-powered Icebreakers and other nuclear projects throughout the world. In total, 6 NPPs, 7 NPPs, 4 nuclear waste, 2 hydropower, 2 mining, and 2 nuclear icebreakers are included, with projects far afield from Bolivia to Vietnam. The report betrays Western claims that Russia is ‘isolated’ when it comes to the energy sector, and may be downloaded, in PDF format, here.
In addition to this document, RPA has also identified projects still under the negotiation process and subsequently not included in the AIR research document as follows:
- China Expected To Join Russia In Building The World’s Largest Fast Neutron Nuclear Reactor
- Rosatom Bidding For Turkiye’s Second Nuclear Power Plant
- Russia, India Looking At Nuclear Energy Joint Ventures and Additional Nuclear Power Plants
- Russia Providing Nuclear Power Assistance To Zimbabwe
In addition to these, Rosatom plan to have the domestic Kursk NPP-2 reactor ready for operational use by the end of this year, a replacement plant that includes two units with a capacity of 1,255 MW each and is one of the final commissions of the Russian ‘Development of Equipment, Technologies and Scientific Research for the Use of Atomic Energy to 2024’ action plans. In the beginning of 2025, Rosatom will also pour the first concrete for the Paks-2 NPP in Hungary.
These projects illustrate the growing presence of Russia’s nuclear energy business and investments at a time when it also leads the world in the oil and gas sector, yet at the same time is developing nuclear energy facilities at aa far faster rate than the West, which is now having to re-start coal fired power stations having placed sanctions on Russian oil and gas.
