Hanhikivi-1 - Finland

Hanhikivi-1 is a VVER-1200 reactor nuclear power plant located in the municipality of Pyhäjoki, Finland. The project was launched with the aim of ensuring the country's energy independence and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by using clean nuclear energy. The designed capacity of the nuclear power plant is 1200 MW - it was predicted that when the reactor will provide 10% of the electricity consumption of the Finnish state after the start of operation. The construction of the production-assembly base facilities of the nuclear power plant was started in 2017. It included reinforcement and concrete production plants, turbine assembly shops, warehouse complexes, administrative buildings and other industrial buildings (altogether about 50 buildings and structures). In 2022, after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Finnish energy company "Fennovoima" broke the contract with the project executor "Rosatom", and currently all design and construction work on the Hanhikivi-1 project is frozen.
