The Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant (Turkish: Akkuyu Nükleer Güç Santrali) is a large nuclear power plant in Turkey under construction located in Akkuyu, Büyükeceli, Mersin Province.[2] It is expected to generate around 10% of the country's electricity when completed.[3]
In May 2010, Russia and Turkey signed an agreement that a subsidiary of Rosatom would build, own, and operate a power plant in Akkuyu comprising four 1,200 MWe VVER1200 units. Construction of the first reactor commenced in April 2018.[4] In February 2013, Russian nuclear construction company Atomstroyexport (ASE) and Turkish construction company Özdoğu signed the site preparation contract for the proposed Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant. The contract includes excavation work at the site.[5]
The official launch ceremony took place in April 2015.[6]
It is expected to be the first build–own–operate nuclear power plant in the world.[7][8]
