Construction of Belarusian nuclear power plant's link to power grid to end in November

MINSK, 7 June (BelTA) – The project to build the system, which will connect the Belarusian nuclear power plant to the power grid, will be finished in November 2018, BelTA learned from Belarusian Deputy Energy Minister Mikhail Mikhadyuk on 7 June.

The work to build the power grid linkup proceeds on schedule. The project will be finished in November, assured the deputy energy minister. “This month we intend to install a 330kV operating-voltage switchgear device at the nuclear power plant site,” he added.

The system to connect the Belarusian nuclear power plant and the national power grid is being built in line with the contract signed by the Grodno Oblast electrical company Grodnoenergo and North China Power Engineering Company (NCPE).

On 7 June Deputy Energy Minister Mikhail Mikhadyuk came to the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of Belarus to present the protocol on amending the Belarusian-Russian intergovernmental agreement on building the nuclear power plant in Belarus of 15 March 2011. The protocol was signed in Minsk in February 2018. It provides for rescheduling the commissioning of the first unit of the Belarusian nuclear power plant from 2018 to December 2019. The time to commission the second unit remains unchanged – 2020. The parliament ratified this document and other international ones.
