KIEV, May 27 – Ukraine has proposed implementing a project to build an energy bridge with Poland and Hungary at a total cost of EUR 55 million. Reactor two of Khmelnytsky nuclear power plant would be joined Burshtyn Energy Island and using the restored 750 kV Khmelnytsky-Rzeszow (Poland) power line and Khmelnytsky-ZakhidnoUkrainska-Albertirsa (Hungary) electricity would be exported to the EU, Head of National Nuclear Generating Company EnergoAtom Yuriy Nedashkovsky has said.

"Eastern European colleagues have a shortage of 6,000-9,000 MW. This is a good niche that we could occupy. Building of a nuclear power plant with a capacity of 2,400 MP in Belarus by Rosatom could put the country under Russian expansion for many years. Only quick implementation of the project would allow occupying it," he said at the Energy Spring 2016 congress in Kiev on Thursday.
