ОJSC «Irkutskenergo»

The Irkutsk power system is one of the largest in Russia. Three hydroelectric power plants – the Irkutsk HPP, the Bratsk HPP and the Ust-Ilimsk HPP -  account for about  70% of OJSC Irkutskenergo’ s capacity; the remaining capacity falls on 13 CHPPs. This highly effective fuel and energy base ensures stable and effective performance of  energy-intensive industries. The key regional industries – non-ferrous metallurgy, chemical and petrochemical industries, timber processing complex, railways – consume over    75% of   total   electricity being consumed in the region.

The Irkutsk power system produces surplus electricity. Its installed capacity is sufficient to  provide the Irkutsk region with electricity  and to transmit part of it to other regions.

In terms of capacity and production volumes, the power system is capable of producing over 70 bln kWh of electricity and up to  46 mln Gcal of heat. Installed electric power capacity of the Irkutsk power system is  12.9 ths MW, including  9,002 МW of HPPs  capacity and 3,879 МW of CHPPs  capacity. Installed heat generation capacity is 14,173 Gcal/hour.
