The Egyptian Atomic Energy Authority (EAEA) is expected to complete its reviews of the technical studies and environmental impact reports on the Dabaa nuclear power plant by 1Q2019, according to an EAEA source. The EAEA will then review the plant’s site plans before issuing the commercial licenses for the plant. Construction on the USD 30 bn plant should officially start in 2020, once Russian nuclear energy company Rosatom obtains its permits from the EAEA, Electricity Ministry sources had previously said.
