What happened
Rosatom was selected to lead an international consortium to build a 2,400 MW nuclear plant in Kazakhstan. Separately, Rosatom is actively building and supplying nuclear power plants and training programs in Uzbekistan. The nuclear complex in Uzbekistan is projected to supply up to 20 percent of the country’s energy production.
Why it matters
These projects represent major infrastructure investments in Central Asia. Rosatom is responsible for the full implementation of the Kazakh plant, from design and procurement to construction and handover. The expansion of nuclear capacity in both nations signals a significant shift in regional energy strategy.
