The construction of the Khanhikivi-1 nuclear power plant in Finland with Russia is finally closed, reports Arguments and Facts with reference to the Kauppalehti newspaper.
According to data, the decision will affect the goals of Helsinki to achieve carbon neutrality by 2035: 40% of “pure” energy was planned at the nuclear power plant, but now the country’s authorities will have to revise the strategy for the transition to “green energy”.
The Finnish company Fennovoima terminated the contract with Russia for the construction of Khanhikivi-1 back in early May. In the west of the country, it was planned to build a single-block nuclear power plant based on the modern VVER-1200 generation reactor 3+ and a capacity of 1200 megavatts. Russia will require financial compensation from Finland for the breakdown.
