Energoatom plans to increase electricity exports to the countries of Eastern and Central Europe, having stocks of nuclear fuel for two years in advance, even if they are not completely replenished. This was stated by the head of the state company Energoatom Pyotr Kotin in an interview with Forbes..

“Technical capabilities allow us to export up to 700 MW. We want to add new lines so that at least 2,000 MW can be exported,” Kotin said..

Nuclear energy is the cheapest in Ukraine, which is why Energoatom has the best position as an exporter.

Kotin believes that the purchase of electricity from Ukraine will be of interest to the countries of Central and Eastern Europe.

“For example, by buying electricity from us, Lithuania will be able to refuse to import it from Russia,” he said..

Kotin assured that Ukraine has a stock of nuclear fuel for nuclear power plants for two years. During this time, the country will not have a shortage of this fuel, even in the absence of resupply.

Recall that Ukraine no longer needs to pay Russia for the storage of spent nuclear fuel. Energoatom received permission to commission our own Centralized Spent Nuclear Fuel Storage Facility. Savings in monetary terms will reach 200 million dollars a year.
