Floating plants An offer from Rosatom Now it is possible to get a nuclear power plant in a finished form, because the reactor is assembled in a shipyard, then tugboats bring the ship to the customer's shore and connect it to the national grid. Rosatom is negotiating such blocks with structures from Egypt, Togo, Namibia and Tanzania, as announced at the Russia-Africa summit in Moscow. The interest in the finished station among the listed countries is explained by the fact that they chronically lack their own electricity. Namibia buys almost half of its energy consumption from its neighbors, Tanzania depends on hydroelectric power stations, which reduce production during droughts, and Togo buys electricity from Ghana and Nigeria and regularly faces supply disruptions. The floating unit solves a number of painful problems at once, as it supplies coastal cities with electricity without rolling blackouts, allows mines and factories to stop burning imported diesel, and removes dependence on rainfall and the mood of neighboring suppliers. A separate advantage concerns drinking water, since desalination plants consume huge amounts of electricity, and in the arid coastal regions of Namibia and Togo it is easier to put them near a station than to run lines to them in the middle of the country. - where politics is hotter than the equator, support us.
