Within 2026, the nuclear power plant in Akugiou, in Mersini, opposite Cyprus, will be put into operation, the Turkish Energy Minister said.
Russia announced today that it has provided $9 billion in new financing for Turkey's first nuclear power plant, which is being built by Russia's state-owned nuclear power company Rosatom.
Rosatom is building the nuclear plant under a 2010 deal at an initial cost of $20 billion.
The station was expected to be operational this year, but has been delayed.
