Impact of the project on the balanced development of Finland
In terms of its size, duration and requirements,
the Fennovoima nuclear power plant construction
project is a major investment. At the
construction phase, the project will employ
thousands of people in Finland. The permanent
economic impact on both the immediate locality
and the surrounding region as a whole will
be considerable.
A nuclear power plant in a completely new location
will generate long-term industrial activity
and help consolidate the business structure
and economy of the surrounding region. Establishment
of a new nuclear energy company
will provide hundreds of permanent jobs for
decades ahead. Because of the long-term nature
of nuclear power production, the region will be
well placed to diversify its range of services.
