Russian Nuclear Power: Turkish President: Turkey will "soon" receive the first electricity from the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant. Hungarian Foreign Minister: The first concrete pouring of the "Paks-2" nuclear power plant is expected to be completed by February 2026.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stated that Turkey will "soon" receive the first electricity from the first reactor of the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant, and new projects are being discussed.
Erdogan said after a cabinet meeting: "We will soon start power generation at Akkuyu. Despite criticism from the main opposition ... we will continue to invest in nuclear energy. There are other projects in our nuclear energy plan."
The first nuclear power plant in Turkey, the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant, is currently under construction with the participation of Russia. The plant consists of four power units, using advanced Russian-designed third-generation+ VVER-1200 reactors. Each unit has a capacity of 1200 megawatts. The Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant is the first project in the global nuclear industry to adopt the "build-own-operate" model. On July 30, Turkish Energy Minister Alparslan Bayraktar announced that Turkey is actively pushing for the first unit of the nuclear power plant to be put into operation in 2026.
