The underlying factors of the production change in January-March 2021 were:

  • water inflows to the reservoirs of the Volga-Kama cascade, Siberia and the Far East at the normal level or slightly above, yet below last year’s level;

  • water inflows to the  reservoir of Chirkeyskaya HPP at the normal level;

  • increase of electricity consumption in the Far East by 6.1%

  • increase of heat output in the Far East driven by weather conditions.

Center of Russia

Total water inflow to the reservoirs of the Volga-Kama cascade reached 24.4 km3 (normal level - 23.5 km3), in April water inflow is expected at 47-67 km3 (normal level - 65.9 km3).

South of Russia and North Caucasus

Water inflow to Chirkeyskaya HPP on the Sulak River was close to the normal level. In April 2020 according to Hydrometeorology Center of Russia total water inflow is expected at the normal level as well.

Siberia

Water inflows to Sayano-Shushenskoye reservoir in the first quarter of 2021 was 1.4x above the normal level. In April 2021, water inflows to Sayano-Shushenskoye and Novosibirskoye reservoirs are expected 30-85% above the normal level. 

Far East

In 1Q 2021 water inflows to Zeyskoye reservoir was 2.7x the normal level, while inflows to Kolymskoe reservoir were 30% above the normal level. In April, water inflows to Kolymskoye reservoir are expected at the normal level, to Zeyskoye reservoir – above the normal level.

Total electricity generated by RAO ES East subgroup in the first quarter of 2021 amounted to 9,366 GWh, an increase of 6.6% as compared to the first quarter last year.

The main driver behind the production increase was growth of electricity consumption in the region by 6.1% to 8,235 GWh.

Heat output by thermal plants of RAO ES East Subgroup in the first quarter of 2021 increased by 7.1% to 12,980 GCal as compared to the corresponding period of 2020 due to lower air temperatures in the regions of presence of JSC DGK, PJSC Yakutskenergo and JSC Chukotenergo.
