Electricity generation and output by RusHydro’s power plants for the 2012 totaled 105.2% and 105.9% of the planned volumes respectively. The slight overshoot was a result of favorable hydrological conditions and regimes allowed by the Federal Water Resources Agency.
In 2012, as a part of RusHydro`s investment program implementation a number of construction works were completed, including:
- two hydropower units were installed at the Zagorskaya pumped storage plant No. 2 (420 MW);
- hydropower units No.1-6 (1,998 MW) were commissioned at the Boguchanskaya HPP.
Technical upgrade and reconstruction works and capacity installation at the Volzhskaya HPP (15.5 MW), the Kamskaya HPP (9 MW) and the Kabardino-Balkaria branch (2 MW) were also completed.
In 2012, three new hydropower units (1,920 MW) at the Sayano-Shushenskaya HPP and three hydropower units at the Baksanskaya HPP (25 MW) were also commissioned.
Financing of investment program in 2012 including projects of comprehensive modernization program for 2012-2025 amounted to RUR 97.07 bn or 99% of financing plan.
Actual financing of technical rehabilitation and modernization projects totaled RUR 33.12 bn or 127% of the annual plan of RUR 26.13 bn. The increase of financing was due to the additional reconstruction of hydro turbines at the Volzhskaya HPP, the Zhigulevskaya HPP, the Kamskaya HPP and other HPPs.
