MOSCOW, 02 January 2022, (TON): The press service of the electric power di-vision of the Rosatom state corporation of the Rosenergoatom concern said “NPPs in Russia in 2021 set a new record for electricity generation, producing more than 222 billion kilowatt-hours.”
The message says “nuclear power plants have generated over 222.436 billion kilowatt-hours.”
In 2020, nuclear power plants in Russia produced a total of about 216 billion kilowatt-hours.
The press release says “the volume of electricity generated by the nuclear power plant in 2021 made it possible to save more than 111 million tons of CO2-equivalent emissions (if the same volume of electricity was generated by thermal generation).
The main factors that played a large role in increasing electricity generation were the commissioning in March 2021 of power unit No. 6 of the Leningrad NPP with a capacity of 1200 MW, as well as a 107-day reduction in the duration of repair campaigns, Rosenergoatom explains.
