The energy industry workers of TGC-1's Karelsky branch are implementing measures to secure hydraulic structures and to pass flood waters at the hydroelectric power plants.

The warning systems have been checked, material inventories have been organised in order to isolate and eliminate possible emergency situations related to the flood water passage, as well as emergency response and repair teams have been established at the Vyg, Suna and Kem HPPs Cascades.

“We timely receive hydrometeorological information, monitor it online and detect changes in the water level and inflow,” said Roman Kartoshkin, Chief Engineer of TGC-1's Karelsky Branch. “We pay special attention to mitigating the risk of emergencies, emergency training and briefings held for operational staff at our facilities.”
