Turkey will reduce its dependence on natural gas imports from Russia, its biggest fuel provider, and cut energy costs with the construction of two nuclear plants, Energy Minister Taner Yildiz said.
Three to four years of gas imports totaling as much as $7 billion annually to power electricity plants will cover the cost of the two facilities, to be built on Turkey’s Mediterranean and Black Sea coasts, Yildiz said today at a conference in Ankara, according to state-run Anatolia news agency.
