The Hanhikivi Nuclear Power Plant is a planned nuclear facility located in Finland. It is being developed by Fennovoima, a Finnish energy company, and aims to provide a significant source of low-carbon electricity. The plant will utilize a VVER-1200 reactor design, which is a type of pressurized water reactor known for its safety features and efficiency. Construction of the Hanhikivi plant began in 2022, with an expected operational start date in the early 2030s. The project is part of Finland's strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance energy security. It is also expected to create jobs and stimulate the local economy during its construction and operation phases.
