HELSINKI — Fortum and Russian nuclear agency Rosatom have signed a cooperation agreement for international nuclear markets, the Finnish energy company said Friday.
Fortum spokeswoman Anne Brunila said the companies planned to apply “their nuclear competencies in future nuclear power projects,” although she said they have no concrete projects yet.
Fortum, half-owned by the Finnish government, is a leading power company in the Nordic region, with operations in Russia, Poland and the Baltic states. Earlier this year became the second-largest owner of Russian utility TGC-1, with a 25 percent stake.
Rosatom has built Fortum’s two 500-megawatt reactors situated in Loviisa, on Finland’s southern coast.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
