Rosenergoatom: the generation of electric energy by Russian NPPs has increased by more than 6% in May – to 16.108 billion kWh

Russian NPPs (branch companies of Rosenergoatom Concern) have increased their total electric energy generation by 6.06% in May 2017 compared to the same period in 2016.

The total amount of energy generated by all the Concern NPPs this May is up to 16.108 billion kWh (in comparison to about 15.187 billion kWh for the same period in 2016).

The capability utilization index (CUI) from the beginning of 2017 amounts 86.6%.

The total amount of energy generated by all nuclear power plants in Russia since the beginning of 2017 is about 90 billion kWh (on 06.06.2017). The FAS balance is exceeded on about 2.7 billion kWh.

It is to be recalled that in 2016, Russia's nuclear power plants exceeded the achievement of 2015 in the amount of generated energy by increasing the total energy production by more than a billion – to 196.366 billion kWh (vs. 195.213 billion kWh in previous year).

The Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) approved the generation schedule for Russian NPPs in 2017 at the amount of 199.8 billion kWh.

At present, Russian nuclear power plants produce about 18.3% of the country's total electric energy.

The Rosenergoaton Concern (the power division of the Rosatom State Corporation) includes 10 Russian nuclear power stations bearing the status of the Concern’s affiliate companies, along with the vendors catering for the needs of the generation company. All in all, the 10 nuclear power stations operate 35 power blocks* (*excluding the Novovoronezh NPP’s 6th power block being at the pilot production stage): 18 of them operate VVER reactors (12 VVER-1000 power blocks and 5 VVER-440 power blocks of different modifications); 15 of them with channel reactors (11 power blocks with RMBK-1000 reactors, four power blocks with EGP-6 reactors); and 2 power blocks with fast neutron sodium cooling reactors (BN-600 and BN-800).
