Rosatom has revealed the construction dates for the Kola NPP-2 power units

The construction of power units No. 1 and No. 2 of the Kola NPP-2 is planned from 2027 to 2037. This was reported by the press service of Rosatom with reference to the head of the state corporation Alexei Likhachev on July 1.

"The capacity of each power unit is 600 MW. The service life of the main equipment is 80 years. Construction is planned from 2027 to 2037," the press service said on the Telegram channel.

It is specified that such a statement was made as a result of Likhachev's visit to the Kola Nuclear Power Plant (NPP).
