Rosenergoatom: the electric power output delivered by the Russian NPPs in 2017 has exceeded 100 billion kilowatt-hours

In 2017, all Russian NPPs (the affiliate companies of the Rosenergoatom Concern) have jointly produced over 100 billion kilowatt-hours, with the total output as of June 26th being 100.040 billion kilowatt-hours (the Federal Antimonopoly Service’s balance is exceeded by 3.163 billion kilowatt-hours).

It should be noted that this May the total electric power output of the nuclear power plants has increased by over 6.06% compared to the same period of 2016 reaching the balance of 16.108 billion kilowatt-hours.

The installed capacity utilization factor since early 2017 has reached 85.5%.

The Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) has approved a plan for the Russian NPPs to produce 199.8 billion kilowatt-hours of electric power in 2017.

In 2016, the Russian NPPs have built up their joint output by almost one billion, up to 196.366 billion kilowatt-hours, thus surpassing the previous year’s record of 195.213 billion kilowatt-hours.

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).

At the moment, the Rosenergoatom NPPs account for 18.3% of the whole electricity output in the country.
