On 2 July 2018 a joint seminar for Egyptian suppliers of El-Dabaa NPPA construction Project was held in Cairo. The seminar was organized by Nuclear Power Plants Authority (NPPA) and the Engineering Division of Rosatom State Corporation (ASE) with the support of the National Localization Committee.
The conference was attended by the management of NPPA, the Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy of Egypt, the Ministry of Military Production of Egypt, ASE - the General Designer and General Contractor of El-Dabaa, the first Nuclear Power Plant in Egypt.
As Dr. Amged El-Wakeel, Board chairman of NPPA has said, “Egyptian companies are so interested in the Project for construction of the first Nuclear Power Plant in the country. In the process of construction of the first Power Unit of Egyptian Nuclear Power Plant the level of equipment manufacture and provision of service by local companies shall be at least 20%. In the process of construction of next power units this indicator shall be growing. Dozens of the manufacturing plants shall receive orders for performance of civil works, transportation and equipment delivery”.
Mr. Grigory Sosnin, Vice-President of JSC ASE EC noted that Russian nuclear scientists are mainly targeted on the close partnership with NPP Customer countries.
“More details of the interaction with the Egyptian companies will be provided at autumn Forum of suppliers (ATOMEX), but today the seminar has allowed us to provide detailed information about our Project to all stakeholders, and also to involve potential partners - at this stage, mainly in supplying construction services and materials”, said Grigory Sosnin.
