The state enterprise National Atomic Energy Generating Company Energoatom was established in October 1996 in Ukraine.
Its main goal is to increase the production of electricity and the efficiency of the installed capacity of NPPs, provided a constant increase in the level of operational safety.
Energoatom is the operator of four nuclear power plants in Ukraine in Zaporizhia, Rivne, Khmelnytsky and on South Ukraine. Energoatom includes several other companies and the Representative Office in Brussels, which are separate subdivisions of Energoatom.
Currently, the Company is implementing a number of investment projects, the main ones are the construction of the Centralized Spent Fuel Storage Facility (SNFSF) for Rivne, South-Ukrainian and Khmelnytsky NPPs (Zaporizhzhya NPP has its own SNF storage facility), the construction of power plants number 3 and 4, reconstruction of the technical water supply system of the South-Ukrainian NPP and completion of the Tashlyk PSP.
In 2018, Energoatom for the first time accepted the IAEA mission to verify the effectiveness of the analysis of the experience of ensuring operational safety PROSPER.
In 2021, on behalf of the President of Ukraine, the management of Energoatom was transferred directly to the Cabinet of Ministers.
