Rosatom's total capital investments this year will reach 7 billion euros ($9.5 billion), said Pyotr Stepayev, the state atomic energy corporation's deputy director.
Speaking during the ATOMEX-Europe 2013 forum in the Czech Republic, Stepayev said Rosatom's investments in the development of the company's power generation sector were expected to be 5 billion euros this year and 5.9 billion euros in 2014, Interfax reported.
Stepayev added that Rosatom planned to build and commission 10 new power generating blocks in Russia in the next seven years and 10 more by 2030.
Earlier this week, Rosatom reached an agreement with the finance ministry to receive 22.5 billion rubles ($700 million) from the Reserve Fund for the construction of the Akkuyu nuclear power plant in southern Turkey, Gazeta.ru reported.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
