Summary
The Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant, constructed by Russia, has initiated one of its reactors, launching a power production phase intended to provide over 10 percent of Bangladesh's electricity requirements. Situated along the Padma River, the facility received an operating license from the Bangladesh Atomic Energy Regulatory Authority. Officials anticipate the initial reactor will reach full capacity by 2027, while the second reactor is scheduled for 2028. Commencing in 2017, this initiative represents the most significant individual project in the history of Bangladesh, with projected costs totaling approximately $11.2 billion.
