The government has finished negotiations with Russia on the contracts for depleted fuel depots, operation, maintenance, and technical support for the Dabaa nuclear plant. The agreements also stipulate that Russia supplies nuclear fuel to the plant for a period of 60 years on international prices. In March, Minister of Electricity Mohamed Shaker announced the signing of the main establishment and fuel supply contracts, leaving the technical support, operation, maintenance, and depleted fuel depots contracts. The Ministry of Military Production is preparing a list of Egyptian companies to participate in the local component of the Dabaa nuclear plant, including civil works and electricity connections. Egypt signed an agreement with Russia to establish a nuclear power plant in Dabaa with a capacity of 4,800 MW for $30bn.
