Fennovoima has terminated the contract for the delivery of the Hanhikivi 1 nuclear power plant with Rosatom

This means, that cooperation with RAOS Project is terminated with immediate effect and both the design and licensing work and works at the Hanhikivi 1 site with RAOS project end.

“Unfortunately, the termination of the EPC contract is estimated to have a significant employee impact in Fennovoima and is expected to impact also the supply chain companies and Pyhäjoki region. Our main objective is to support our employees by keeping them informed and work in close cooperation with both our employees and employee representatives. In addition, we focus on preserving the site,” says Joachim Specht, Fennovoima’s CEO.

“The decision to terminate the EPC contract with RAOS Project is not made lightly. In a such a large project there are significant complexities and decisions are made only after thorough considerations. We fully acknowledge the negative impacts and do our best to mitigate those,” says Esa Härmälä, chairman of the Board.

Fennovoima will provide further information and answer possible questions during a press conference on Monday May 2^nd. At this point we do not provide separate one-to-one interviews. The event will be held at Technopolis premises in Helsinki, Salmisaari, Hiilikatu 3 beginning at 12:00.

Questions will be answered by CEO Joachim Specht and the Chairman of the Board Esa Härmälä.
