In 2021, nuclear power plants of Rosenergoatom Concern (part of the electric power division of Rosatom State Corporation) generated over 222.436 billion kWh. The indicator broke the 1988 record set by all nuclear power plants in the Soviet Union (215.669 billion kWh).
“Russian NPPs entered 2022 with a new record exceeding 222.436 billion kWh … The FAS balance in 2021 was fulfilled by almost 102.2% against the planned target of 217.674 billion kWh (or 103.1% compared to the previous year, 2020)”, – reported on the website of Rosenergoatom.
The largest contribution to the generation was made by Kalininskaya (over 34.3 billion kWh), Balakovskaya (over 33 billion kWh) and Rostov (over 31.7 billion kWh) nuclear power plants.
Also, a large role in the increase in electricity generation was played by the commissioning in March 2021 of power unit No. 6 of the Leningrad NPP with a capacity of 1200 MW, as well as the optimization of the duration of repair campaigns by 107 days.
