Rosatom chief Alexey Likhachev said construction of two planned 1,000 MW reactors in Uzbekistan could move into full-scale operation next year, with the project targeting a 2027 start. The reactors are planned alongside two SMRs under construction in Jizzakh; a 2025 contract revision expanded the proposed plant from six SMRs to a mix of two VVER-1000 units and two SMRs.
