Rosatom and GDK Baimskaya LLC sign technology agreement to jointly supply energy to Baimsky plant
∆ Rosatom and GDK Baimskaya LLC have signed an agreement to jointly implement a project to supply power to the Baimsky mining and processing plant (Baimsky GOK), which is located in Russia’s Chukotka Autonomous Okrug. The agreement was signed by Rosatom Deputy Director and Director of the Northern Sea Route Directorate Vyacheslav Ruksha and GDK Baimskaya LLC’s Chairman of the Board of Directors Oleg Novachuk. The signing ceremony took place as part of the Rosatom-organised event “Arctic Day.” The parties agreed that they would conclude a long-term “take-or-pay” contract for the sale and purchase of electricity by April 2022. Rosatom has proposed using optimised floating power units (OFPU) to provide electricity to the Baimsky GOK. These units are already under construction at Rosatom’s machine-building division, Atomenergomash. “We expect to build four power units: three main units and one standby unit that will be used during the repair or refueling of one of the main units,”
