Russia's Far East Plans to Build Two Nuclear Power Plants by 2042
Alexey Chekunkov, Minister for the Development of the Russian Far East and Arctic, said on September 1 during the Eastern Economic Forum that the Russian Far East plans to complete two nuclear power plants by 2042, with a total installed capacity of 3.2 GW. Chekunkov noted that during the same period, the Far East also plans to commission six hydroelectric power plants with a total installed capacity of 3.77 GW, and construct approximately 4,000 kilometers of new power grid. He stated that energy construction is not limited to new power generation projects but also includes supporting grid infrastructure to meet the region's long-term development needs. According to the relevant arrangements, the first phase of construction will last until 2030. During this period, the Far East plans to add 8.3 GW of thermal power installed capacity, including...

Thailand Plans to Include Small Modular Reactors in Power Development Plan, Targeting 9 GW by 2050
Thailand's new draft Power Development Plan (PDP) is expected to be released in September and enter the public consultation phase. All four power supply scenarios under discussion incorporate small modular reactors (SMRs) and large-scale energy storage systems, covering the planning period from 2026 to 2050. According to the draft's vision, Thailand plans to connect its first 300 MW-class small modular reactor to the national power grid by 2037, with nuclear power installed capacity reaching 9,000 MW by 2050. Based on a single-unit capacity of 300 MW, this target is roughly equivalent to approximately 30 reactors of similar scale, though the actual number may be adjusted depending on technology pathways and electricity demand. The main objectives of the new plan include reducing greenhouse...
