Russia\u2019s state nuclear energy corporation, Rosatom, has clarified statements made by its Director General, Alexey Likhachev, regarding foreign attempts to obstruct and \u201csabotage\u201d Egypt\u2019s El-Dabaa Nuclear Power Plant project.<\/a><\/p>\n

In an official Arabic statement released on its official social media channels, Rosatom explained that the \u201csabotage and hostile practices\u201d referenced by Likhachev primarily consist of coordinated misinformation campaigns designed to tarnish the reputation of both the project and the Russian corporation.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the Russia-Africa Summit, Likhachev noted that while implementing the flagship Egyptian nuclear plant has faced severe global headwinds\u2014including the COVID-19 pandemic, international sanctions, and external pressure from foreign states\u2014joint Egyptian-Russian project teams managed to keep construction on track with strong backing from both nations\u2019 leaderships.<\/p>\n

Rosatom reaffirmed that construction at El-Dabaa continues according to schedule despite external attempts to undermine public trust in the nuclear facility.<\/p>\n

The El-Dabaa Nuclear Power Plant is Egypt\u2019s first commercial nuclear power facility, located in the Matrouh Governorate along the Mediterranean coast, roughly 300 kilometers northwest of Cairo.<\/p>\n

Developed in partnership with Russia\u2019s state nuclear corporation, Rosatom, the $30 billion project features four advanced VVER-1200 Generation III+ reactors with a combined capacity of 4,800 megawatts.<\/p>\n

Designed to generate approximately 10 percent of Egypt\u2019s electricity upon full completion around 2030, the flagship plant serves as a cornerstone of the nation\u2019s strategy to diversify its energy mix and transition toward clean, low-carbon power.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
