Russian nuclear group Rosenergoatom has announced that its nuclear power generation in Russia reached a new record high in 2018, reaching 204 TWh (+0.7% compared with 2017 levels). Three nuclear power plants contributed to achieve this record production and accounted for 46% of Rosenergoatom's total nuclear generation, namely the Kalinin nuclear power plant with 35 TWh, the Balakovo nuclear power plant with over 31 TWh and the Leningrad nuclear power plant with over 28 TWh.
Rosenergoatom is the largest power generation company in Russia and encompasses all 10 Russian nuclear power plants, corresponding to 35 power blocks with a cumulated installed capacity of 29 GW. In 2018, in 2018, two new reactors were launched, namely the first block of the Leningrad-2 nuclear power plant (innovative VVER-1200 reactor rated 1,085 MW) and the fourth block of the Rostov nuclear power plant (1,011 MW).
Rosenergoatom has also launched the development of small floating nuclear power plants of less than 100 MW based on the icebreakers of the White Sea. The first project, the OPK Pevek power barge, is under construction (64 MW). Commissioning was delayed and is now expected for 2019.
