Summary
Fennovoima Oy, owned by Voimaosakeyhtio SF, and Rosatom are planning to undertake the construction of Hanhikivi 1 Nuclear Power Plant project in Northern Ostrobothnia, Finland.

The project involves the construction of a nuclear power plant with the capacity of 1,200MW and will feature a Russian-designed AES-2006 VVER-1200 reactor.

It includes the construction of 7km, the 110 kV transmission line and the installation of 20kV transformer substations, installation of 20kV power supply networks, fiber optic networks.

The project includes the construction of temporary dam, sea canal, dam tailrace channels, cooling towers, compressor units, steam generating units and decomposition units, the excavation for the spillway and the installation of nuclear reactors and steam turbines.

Fennovoima shortlisted Areva’s EPR and Toshiba’s ABWR as potential technologies for the project in 2008. Since then, technical development work has been carried out with the help of both suppliers.

Fennovoima received technical and commercial bids for the supply contract from Areva and Toshiba in January and February 2012 respectively.

In February 2013, Fennovoima submitted three separate water permit applications. The applications covers the constructions of sea route, harbor, cooling water intake, permits for building cooling water outlet and permits for the sea dumping area of the nuclear power plant.

In September 2013, Rosatom agreed to jointly build the project with Fennovoima.

On December 24, 2013, Rosatom signed a contract with Fennovoima for the construction of the power plant.

In September 2014, Fennovoima secured in-principle approval from the government.

In January 2015, Russia's Cabinet of Ministers through National Wealth Fund approved US$2,300 million funding from the country's sovereign wealth fund.
