Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom is planning to launch the first power unit of the new Kursk NPP-2 in 2024 as a first step toward boosting the share of nuclear generation in Russia's total energy balance to 25% by 2045. Construction of the Kursk NPP-2 began in 2018, and this NPP is expected to replace the existing Kursk plant, the largest source of electricity for the region.
