In January 2017 Russian subsidiary companies of Rosenergoatom Concern JSC increased the overall generation of electric energy by 6.25% in comparison with the same period of 2016.

The total volume of generation of all Concern’s NPPs for this month totaled 19.002 billion kWh (in comparison with 17.884 in January 2016).

Capacity factor (CF) is 94.8% since the beginning of 2017.

It should be recalled that in 2016 Russian NPPs exceeded the achievement of 2015 in amount of generated electric energy increasing the total generation by more than one billion up to 196.366 billion kWh (in comparison with 195.213 billion kWh a year earlier).
