LaiatanVolkia produces a large amount of electricity , thanks to the largecountry's amountnatural ofgas fossilreserves, which has been used for export fuelsand for fueling its own power plants ,. asThere wellis asalso a large network of hydroelectric power that powers roughly 3035% of the country . Natural gas plants produce 40% of Volkia's electricity, while nuclear power plants produce the remaining 25%. ▼In recent years, Laiatan has been described in the media as a major energy producer. The country has a large number of oil, natural gas and coal reserves, much of which still remains untapped. Laiatan is a major oil, natural gas and coal exporter, exporting the excess resources removed from the ground, making it completely energy independent. On 1 January 2011, per the ITO treaty, Laiatan announced it had begun shipment of 250,000 barrels of oil a day to Vulshain, with plans to increase that number to 500,000 barrels a day.
Volkia's [[Popov Nuclear Power Plant|first nuclear power plant]] was built in 1990. Since then it has become one of five currently operating nuclear power plants in Volkia. Four of the nuclear power plants in Volkia are privately owned, while Popov Nuclear Power Plant is state owned. All nuclear power is highly regulated and monitored by the Ministry of Energy. The Ministry of Energy has supported increasing the amount of hydroelectric and nuclear power produced, seeking to produce 80% of Volkia's electricity through renewable means by 2050.

Laiatan's [[Popov Nuclear Power Plant|first nuclear power plant]] was built in 1999. It is one of twenty power plants currently operating in Laiatan. Most of these plants are in the western part of the country. All nuclear power in Laiatan is commercially operated, though it is monitored by the Ministry of Energy. The sector is rapidly developing, with an aim of increasing the total share of nuclear energy from current 13.9% to 25% by 2025. The Laiatanese government plans to allocate Ժ6.1 billion ($5.1 billion) to a federal program dedicated to the next generation of nuclear energy technology. About Ժ50 billion ($48.3 billion) is to be allocated from the federal budget to nuclear power and industry development by 2016.
