ГЭС ПАО «ТГК-1» в Карелии в 2020 году выработали рекордное за несколько лет количество электроэнергии

At the end of 2020, electricity generation at three cascades of hydroelectric power plants of the Karelsky Branch of TGC-1 PJSC significantly exceeded the average values for the last five years. Compared to the same indicator in 2019, generation increased by 21.6% and amounted to 2.9 billion kWh.

“The record indicators in electricity generation are associated with the high water content of the past year, as well as the readiness of the HPP equipment to bear loads and pass the flood, which was ensured by the Branch employees,” noted Roman Kartoshkin, Chief Engineer of the Karelsky Branch, TGC-1 PJSC.

The electricity generated by hydroelectric power plants is environmentally friendly and has a natural source.
