Published by Sputnik International

Russian President Vladimir Putin has highlighted the need for new nuclear power plants in the Far East, aiming to bolster the region’s power generation capabilities. Currently, the Far East region hosts two active nuclear power plants, with plans for additional facilities to meet the growing energy demand.

The new power plants, including the Khabarovsk and Primorsky Nuclear Power Plants, are set to have a significant impact on the region’s power generation capacity. These developments come in response to the rising energy consumption in the area, with projections indicating a need for increased electricity production by 2030.

By investing in nuclear energy infrastructure, Russia aims to support the region’s industrial growth and infrastructure development. The construction of new power plants aligns with a long-term strategy to enhance power generation in the Far East and ensure a stable energy supply for its residents.
