Helsinki, May 2 (AFP\/APP): Finnish-led consortium Fennovoima said on Monday it has terminated a contract with Russian group Rosatom to build Finland’s third nuclear power plant, citing risks linked to the Ukraine war.<\/p>\n

“The war in Ukraine has worsened the risks for the project,” Fennovoima said in a statement, also citing “significant delays”.<\/p>\n

The proposed 1,200-megawatt Russian-designed reactor was to be built in Pyhajoki, about 100 kilometres (60 miles) from the port of Oulu in northern Finland.<\/p>\n

The Hanhikivi 1 project, of which Rosatom owns a 34-percent stake with the remainder held by a Finnish consortium, had been delayed several times and the construction permit had not yet been granted.<\/p>\n

It had been one of the major industrial projects involving a Russian company in the European Union, though there had been many uncertainties about its future.<\/p>\n

Two days before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the Finnish government had said it was re-evaluating the security risks for the 7.5-billion-euro deal.<\/p>\n

Fennovoima said the decision to cancel the contract was “not made lightly”.<\/p>\n

“In such a large project there are significant complexities and decisions are made only after thorough considerations”, it said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Finland currently has five nuclear reactors at two plants, both located on the shores of the Baltic Sea, currently providing about 30 percent of the country’s electricity.<\/p>\n

The fifth reactor, Olkiluoto 3 built by the French-German consortium Areva-Siemens, went online in March and will provide 15 percent of Finland’s electricity when it begins producing at full capacity in September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
