INPP earned 1.5 million euros

In 2019, SE  Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant (INPP) earned an additional 1.5 million euros from the sale of unnecessary property and from other commercial activities.

In order to sell unnecessary property, 46 auctions were organized. Over 2.2 thousand tons of various metals were sold at auctions, which made it possible to earn an additional 600 thousand euros, and about 400 thousand euros were received from sales of other property.
