The Hanhikivi Nuclear Power Plant (Finnish: Hanhikiven ydinvoimalaitos, Swedish: Hanhikivi kärnkraftverk) was a project to build a nuclear power plant on the Finnish Hanhikivi peninsula, in the municipality of Pyhäjoki. It was planned to house one Russian-designed VVER-1200 pressurised water reactor, with a capacity of 1200 MW.^[1][2] It was estimated that the reactor would supply 10% of Finland's energy demand by 2024.^[3] The power company Fennovoima announced in April 2021 that construction of the plant would begin in 2023 and commercial operation would start in 2029.^[4] In May 2022, in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Fennovoima terminated its contract with Rosatom to build the power plant.^[5]
