The Novovoronezh NPP generated 1170,6 kWh of electricity in May 2015. Electricity production plan, approved by the Federal Tariff Service (FTS) of Russia, in May was made on 115.22%.

The power system was released 1,082,8 kWh of electricity or 114.34% of the plan.

Comparing to May last year it was generated on 102.8 million kWh more electricity.

The capacity factor at the Novovoronezh nuclear power plant in May amounted to 85.79% (planned capacity factor - 74.46%).

The Novovoronezh nuclear power plant is a branch of the JSC "Concern Rosenergoatom". The station is located on the bank of the Don River in 42 km to the south of Voronezh. It is the Russia's first nuclear power plant with VVER reactors (water-to-water power reactors of case type with regular water under pressure). Each of five reactors of the station can be a main one – a prototype of serial power reactors: the power unit No. 1 with the VVER-210 reactor, the power unit No. 2 with the VVER-365 reactor, the No. 3, 4 power units with the VVER-440 reactors, the power unit No. 5 with the VVER-1000 reactor. The first power unit was launched in 1964, the second – in 1969, third – in 1971, fourth – 1972, fifth – 1979.

There are three power units (power units No.1, 2 were stopped in 1984 and 1990 respectively) in work at the moment.

Innovative power units ?? 6 and 7 with 1200 MW capacity has been constructed at the Novovoronezh NPP site since 2007.

Average values of radiation background correspond to level of natural background values in the Central European Part of Russia in settlements of a 30-km zone round the Novovoronezh nuclear power plant.
