Perspectives
Rosenergoatom is to be converted into a public company; however, it will continue to be owned by the state. Around the company, research institutes and companies from the civil Russian nuclear industry are supposed to join forces to form a monopoly operation like the gas company Gazprom . According to Rosatom, the planned further expansion of nuclear energy could save around 135 billion cubic meters of natural gas annually and sell it abroad for foreign exchange.
