According to the operative data of the JSC"SO EPS""Regional dispatch control after power systems in St. Petersburg and Leningrad region" branch, the power consumption amounted to 19 billion 252.8 million kWhin the region in January-May 2015, which is on 0.4% more than during the same period in 2014. The Leningrad NPP (branch of the JSC "Concern Rosenergoatom", Leningrad Region) released into the grid11 billion 954.64 million kWh of electricityduring the reporting period.

Generation of electricity power by energy systems amounted to 25 billion 183.1 million kWhin St. Petersburg and Leningrad region in January-April 2015 with increase on 1.3% comparing to the same period in 2014. The Leningrad NPP generated 12 billion 880 million kWh of electricity during the reporting period.

Recall, that the share of the Leningrad nuclear power plant in the regional generation volume was 45%at the end of 2014, in providing consumption - 53.26%.

The Leningrad NPP has two operating power units at the moment (? 2 and  3), which bear the load of 1990 MW according to operations schedule (power units ? 1 and 4 have been in preventive planned overhaul since April 4 and June 6 2015 respectively).

The radiation background is unchanged and corresponds to natural values on an industrial platform of the Leningrad nuclear power plant, in the city Sosnovy Bor and the surrounding territory.

The Leningrad nuclear power plant is the JSC "Rosenergoatom Concern" branch. The station is located in the city Sosnovy Bor in 80 km to the west of St. Petersburg on the bank of the Finland Gulf. The Leningrad NPP is the country's first station with RBMK-1000 reactors (uranium - graphite nuclear reactors of channel type on thermal neutrons). 4 power units with electric capacity of 1000 MWt eachoperateat the nuclear power plant.
