Akkuyu Nuclear Power PlantAn important ceremony was held within the scope of the completion of the installation of the 1st Power Unit Turbine Facility of (NGS). Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Alparslan Bayraktarstating that this incident is one of the important milestones in Türkiye’s nuclear history. “We will put the first reactor into trial production in 2025. “We aim to produce the first electricity from here.” he said.

Total capacity 4,8 GW In addition to Minister Bayraktar, the General Manager of the Russian State Nuclear Energy Corporation Rosatom, Aleksey Lihachev, and the employees working at the power plant attended the ceremony held at Akkuyu NPP.

It will enter trial production in 2025

Making a speech at the ceremony, Minister Bayraktar stated that they had a historical day in Akkuyu. “Because today the first unitWe rotate the turbine shaft. “This is one of the important steps and milestones in Türkiye’s nuclear history.” he said.

As it is known, Türkiye signed the declaration “to triple the existing installed nuclear power by 2050” at the United Nations Fans Conference. In line with both Turkey’s goals and the goals of limiting global warming 2050 In Türkiye, Thanks NGS including Sinop NGS ve Trachea NGSIt will also activate . In addition to these 5 thousand megawatt small modular reactor (SMR) will install. Thus, Turkey’s nuclear energy capacity 20 thousand megawatts will reach the level.

Minister Bayraktar“When we reach our target of 20 thousand megawatts, we will provide 10 percent of the energy from nuclear.” ” he said. Bayraktar, 2025 in the year Sinop ve Thrace related to projects final decision He added that they aim to give

In recent months, Rosatom General Manager Alexey Likhachev In his statement, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan met with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
