Key Production Results of 2020
REA JSC (Rosenergoatom Joint-Stock Company, hereinafter referred to as Rosenergoatom) is the only nuclear power plants operator in Russia and a major player on the Russian electricity market.
Its main business areas include power and heat generation at NPPs and acting as the operator of nuclear facilities (nuclear power plants), radiation sources and facilities storing nuclear materials and radioactive substances in accordance with Russian legislation.
The amount of electricity generated by nuclear power plants in 2020 equals to 215.745 billion kWh which is 103.9% of the balance sheet approved by the FAS of Russia and 103.3% of the actual amount of electricity generation in 2019.
Optimization of duration (by 391.5 days) of scheduled outages at nuclear units was the main factor contributing to generation of additional electricity by 8.13 billion kWh above the planned target of the FAS of Russia.
There are 38 nuclear power units1 in operation with their total installed capacity of 30.6 GW.
-
1 ranked
in total electricity generation among the largest generating companies in Russia

Outcomes in the sustainable development
As one of the largest enterprises in the electric power industry and the only nuclear operator in Russia, Rosenergoatom has a significant impact on the socio-economic well-being of society and environment both in the host towns — the location of nuclear power plants and regions of business — and at the global level.
Rosenergoatom is aware of its economic, social and environmental responsibility to society and fully supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), for the achievement of which it is necessary to unite the efforts of governments, of the private sector, of the civil society and of all the inhabitants of the planet.
Nuclear power is fully consistent with the goals set to dramatically reduce СО2 emissions and to promote carbon-free energy. Russian NPPs annually prevent emissions of more than 100 million tons of СО₂ equivalent.
108,3 million tons
The amount of prevented emissions of СО₂ equivalent by Russian NPPs in 2020. This is almost 4 million tons of СО₂ equivalent more than the same indicator in 2019.
