Türkiye is moving towards the goal of complete energy independence and one of the steps in this direction will be the commissioning of the Akkuyu nuclear power plant (NPP), which will cover 10% of the country’s electricity needs, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said after a government meeting broadcast by TRT Haber TV channel, APA reports.
"We are taking reliable steps to achieve the goal of making Türkiye completely energy independent <...>. With the construction of the Akkuyu NPP, we are implementing our 70-year-old dream of switching to nuclear energy. Once it is fully operational, we hope it will provide 10% of Türkiye's electricity needs," Erdogan said.
