Russia and Rwanda have agreed to build a nuclear power plant. Rosatom CEO Alexey Likhachev announced new overseas projects during the congress of the Union of Machine Builders of Russia.
According to the head of the state corporation, Rosatom has also reached agreements on nuclear projects with Kazakhstan, Vietnam, and Myanmar. In addition, the company has completed negotiations in Indonesia, where the construction of a floating nuclear power plant is being discussed.
Rosatom clarified that the company is currently building 26 large power units and two small power units. The state corporation has also received orders for floating nuclear power plants.
In Indonesia, the Russian side expects to start with a floating nuclear power plant and then move on to larger facilities. The country's authorities plan to increase nuclear generation capacity to 500 MW by the early 2030s and to 7–8 GW by the 2040s. In this regard, Rosatom believes that Indonesia will need power units with a capacity of 1–1.2 GW in the future.
In late March 2026, Russia and Vietnam signed an agreement on the construction of the Ninh Thuan-1 nuclear power plant with a capacity of 2.4 GW. In Kazakhstan, Rosatom plans to implement a 1.2 GW power plant project, and in Myanmar, the state corporation is participating in the creation of a small nuclear power plant.
