Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke about the economic benefits of commissioning the Akkuyu nuclear power plant, which is under construction in the country.
This plant, which will produce 35 billion kWh of electricity per year, will save our country from importing 7 billion cubic meters of natural gas per year. It will also reduce carbon emissions by 35 million tons per year. Akkuyu's contribution to our GDP will total $50 billion.
Erdoğan emphasized the need to include nuclear energy in Turkey's energy portfolio.
The resistance to the construction of nuclear power plants from some circles can only be explained by malice, if not ignorance. Such superficial thinking will not benefit the country.
Akkuyu NPP is the first nuclear power plant in Turkey, built with the participation of Russia. It consists of four power units with advanced Russian-designed VVER-1200 generation 3+ reactors. The capacity of each power unit will be 1.2 thousand megawatts.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the first reactor of the Akkuyu NPP will be launched in 2025.
