The Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant is a planned nuclear plant at Akkuyu, in Büyükeceli, Mersin Province, Turkey. It would be the country's first nuclear power plant.[1]
In May 2010, Russia and Turkey signed an agreement that a subsidiary of Rosatom — Akkuyu NGS Elektrik Uretim Corp. (APC: Akkuyu Project Company) — would build, own, and operate a power plant at Akkuyu comprising four 1,200 MW VVER units.[2][3] The agreement was ratified by the Turkish Parliament in July 2010.[4]
Engineering and survey work started at the site in March 2011.[2][5] The construction of the first unit will begin in 2013, with the four units put into service in 2019–22.[2] A 49% stake will be sold to other investors.[3] Potential investors are Turkish companies Park Teknik and Elektrik Üretim.[5]
Turkish Electricity Trade and Contract Corporation (TETAS) has guaranteed the purchase of 70% power generated from the first two units and 30% from the third and fourth units over a 15-year power purchase agreement. Electricity will be purchased at a price of 12.35 US cents per kW·h and the remaining power will be sold in the open market by the producer.[6]
There are serious objections to the project. The most important objection is that Büyükeceli and the surrounding coastline may lose its touristic potential after the realization of the project.[7] Büyükeceli residents are also worried that the already low population of the town may further decrease and the town may lose its township status. The government on the other hand, prefers this site because of the low population density and low risk of earthquakes.
In February 2013, russian nuclear construction company Atomstroyexport (ASE) and Turkish construction company Ozdogu have signed the site preparation contract for the proposed Akkuyu nuclear power plant. The contract includes excavation work at the site.[8]
