Second Belarus unit enters commercial operation
02 November 2023
The second unit of the Belarusian nuclear power plant was put into commercial operation on 1 November. Together with the first unit the new nuclear power plant will provide about 40% of the country's electricity needs.

The first power unit - also a Russian VVER-1200 reactor - was connected to the grid in November 2020 and, the energy ministry says, the plant will produce about 18.5 TWh of electricity per year, equivalent to 4.5 billion cubic metres of natural gas, with an annual effect on the country's economy of about USD550 million.
Rosatom said that since the second unit was synchronised with the network in May, and brought to its design capacity in June, it has generated more than 2 TWh of electricity. It also said that "according to contractual obligations, from this moment on, Rosatom assumes responsibility for the operability of the unit’s equipment during the warranty period".
Vitaly Polyanin, vice-president of ASE JSC and project director for the construction of the Belarusian NPP, said: "The successful and timely implementation of the nuclear power plant construction project became possible thanks to the joint, well-coordinated work of Russian and Belarusian specialists. I am confident that our nuclear power plant in Belarus will become an example for many potential foreign partners of Rosatom. Today, the construction of VVER-1200 power units is already under way in Bangladesh, Hungary, Egypt, Turkey and China."
The Belarus nuclear power plant is located in Ostrovet in the Grodno region. A general contract for the construction was signed in 2011, with first concrete in November 2013. Construction of unit 2 began in May 2014. There are now six VVER-1200 reactors in operation in total, with four in Russia.
