Investment in 4 power units station Kursk NPP-2 replacement will exceed 400 billion Rubles. Annual tax payments to the budgets of the construction of the Kursk region from Kursk NPP-2 are expected to be 280 million Rubles. And tax revenues to the regional and local budgets from the activities of the Kursk NPP-2 for a 60-year period of operation are estimated at about 200 billion Rubles (in current prices). This will surely develop the economy and social sphere of the region.

Highway bridge together with a network of roads, constructed or expanded, will  allow to connect directly riverbank Seym, which will significantly improve life in the densely populated region.

In general, the work on construction site of the power units 1 and 2 of the replacement station on adaptation of existing nuclear power plant construction base facilities for the needs of the construction of the Kursk NPP-2, and the removal of the surface layer, the bulk of the industrial site fencing dam, electricity construction site have been done. In the final stage - the work on the outer fence of the industrial site, a temporary mobile buildings general contractor, site facilities "Gidrostroy" warehouses UPTK base, expansion of the existing road to the dump ground near the village of Dronyaevo will be done.

Construction of access roads required for the delivery of construction materials, the reconstruction of the railway overpass for acceptance of aggregates (crushed stone, sand and gravel) is being done. On-site are unfold other works.

Plan of capital investments in the Kursk NPP-2 for 2014 is about 3 billion Rubles.

"NPP-2 for the Kursk region is the development of infrastructure, and employment of many thousands of Kursk specialists, creating additional 6-7 thousand jobs during the construction of more than 2,000 - in operation," - said after the visit the Acting Governor of the Kursk Region Alexander Mikhailov ..

Potsyapun noted, that the engineering and scientific sense of the power units with VVER-TOI, which will be built on the land of the Kursk, will meet the highest standards of safety and economy, and are of interest worldwide.
 
The Kursk NPP as part of "Rosenergoatom" is included in the electricity division of the State Corporation "Rosatom". The station is located 40 km south-west of the city of Kursk on the left bank of the Seym. At the NPP four power units with channel RBMK-1000 reactors with a total capacity of 4 million KW are operating. Power units were connected to the unified energy system of the country in 1976, 1979, 1983 and 1985. In the 1994-2009 period all existing power units have had deep technical modernization. The Kursk NPP is the largest in the Central Russian Chernozem power generating source. Win of the Kursk NPP in installed capacity of all power plants Chernozemya exceeds 50%.

The Kursk NPP-2 is a station, which will help to replace the retiring power units of the Kursk NPP from service since 2021.

The scheme of territorial planning of the Russian Federation in the field of energy up to 2030, approved by the Government of the Russian Federation in November 2013, provides accommodation in Kursk region of four power units of the replacement station NPP-2 with a new type of power reactos VVER-TOI.

VVER-TOI (standard optimized and computerized unit VVER technology) meets the current domestic and international safety requirements, has a longer service life and greater installed capacity, comparing with existing nuclear power plant reactors.

Commissioning of the first two nuclear power units is planned to be synchronized with the decommissioning of the reactors 1 and 2, operating at the nuclear power plant.
