— Atomenergoprom uses market instruments for managing prices

Now that Atomenergoprom has launched a large-scale program for construction of new nuclear reactors, it is forced to use market instruments for managing prices under both short- and long-term contracts.

The 40bln RUR contract between Atomenergoprom and Power Machines will help the latter to upgrade its production and to produce more at low price.
 
One more effective way to save money is the purchase of equipment through big tenders (with many participants). This practice has already saved us over 1bln RUR at the last fair of nuclear equipment in Nizhniy Novgorod.

Such approaches will help Atomenergoprom to produce nuclear reactors that will have the same quality but will cost less than their foreign counterparts.
