Construction of reactor buildings at Uzbekistan nuclear plant to begin in 2027

Alexey Likhachev, head of Russian state corporation Rosatom, said the company will begin construction of reactor buildings in 2027 at the nuclear power plant (NPP) being built in Uzbekistan. The Trend report cited TASS as the source of the information.

According to the statement, specialists will complete the pouring of concrete foundations for small-capacity reactors by the end of 2026. In 2027, construction of machine halls and control buildings at the site will also begin. Large-scale work on high-capacity power units will be launched as well.

The project, valued at $9.5 billion, is being implemented in Uzbekistan's Jizzakh region. The station will have a unique configuration that combines conventional power units with small-capacity reactors. Full commissioning of the facility is planned for 2035.
