The nuclear power plant Kaliningrad ( [ listen? / I] russian Калининградская АЭС, even nuclear power plant Neman, Russian Неманская АЭС, officially nuclear power plant Baltiyskaya, Russian Балтийская АЭС [ listen? / I]) is a planned nuclear power plant in Kaliningrad Oblast near the town of Neman ( dt. Ragnit ), which was originally to be built by 2016 at the Russian- Lithuanian border. Beginning of 2013 it was in early stages of development. According to the environmental organization Global 2000 from Russian President Vladimir Putin said the project in May 2013, an official confirmation is still pending.

History

The nuclear power plant Kaliningrad was proposed in February 2008 by the company InterRAO EES. It is to export a large part of the energy generated. It should (AES-2006) with 1200 MW get two blocks of nuclear reactors VVER -1200, which are designed by atomic Ergo Project Saint Petersburg. It is 13 kilometers southeast of the city built Neman. The project is expected to cost 6 billion euros. The nuclear power plant is to be built similar to the planned construction of a new nuclear power plant in Visaginas.

It is planned to export the electricity to Germany and St. Petersburg. The construction work for the first block started in April 2011, the work for the second block should start one and a half years later. It was planned that the nuclear power plant supplying to 2016 Electricity. The plan resulted in mid-2008 to a change in the federal target program of 2007. Construction was approved in August 2008 by Rosatom. The Czech energy utility CEZ has shown interest in the project. Later, however, the start was delayed by one year ( to 2017 ).

The country Lithuania has raised concerns against the project and adopted a resolution to the European Union against the project requested by the However, estimates can not stop the construction. In addition, Lithuania had publicly refused to buy the electricity generated from this nuclear power plant, although this facility was designed, among other things to the export of electricity to other countries.

Foreign Policy Background

The Lithuanian government, the European Commission formally about plans to build a new nuclear power plant in October 2011 - nuclear power plant in Visaginas - informed: Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia and Poland are planning together to build an ' advanced boiling water reactor ' of the 1300 -MW This project competes with the nuclear power plant Kaliningrad. Both projects are now on the brink of.
