Fuel Loading Begins at Bangladesh's First Nuclear Power Plant

Fuel loading has begun at Bangladesh's first nuclear power plant, the Russian-built Rooppur NPP, paving the way for experimental nuclear energy production. The 2,400 MW facility across two reactors will supply 10% of national energy needs once fully operational, with first reactor commercial operation expected in August at 300 MW, scaling to full production by late 2026 or early 2027. The $13 billion project is seen as a game-changer for Bangladesh facing severe energy crisis.

Bangladesh Begins Fuel Loading at Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant

Bangladesh has begun fuel loading at its Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant, the country's first nuclear facility, marking its entry into nuclear power generation. The 2.4 GW plant (2 x 1200 MW units) in Pabna, built by Russia's Rosatom at a cost of $13 billion with 90% Russian state financing, aims to provide 10-12% of Bangladesh's electricity. The first unit will be transferred for operations before end of 2026, with full output expected by 2027.

Rosatom CEO: Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant steadily nearing completion despite challenges

Rosatom CEO Alexey Likhachev announced at the physical start-up ceremony of Bangladesh's Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant that the project is steadily nearing completion despite challenges including the pandemic, international turbulence, and domestic political changes. Nuclear fuel was loaded into Unit 1's reactor, a key production milestone for the country's first nuclear facility featuring two VVER-1200 reactors with 2,400 MW total capacity.
