Electricity generation at En+ hydropower plants on the Angara cascade - Irkutsk, Bratsk, and Ust-Ilimsk - rose by 5.4% to 21.5 bln kWh, supported by water reserves in Lake Baikal and the Bratsk Reservoir, as well as high water levels in the reservoirs.

In the first half of the year, electricity generation at the Abakan solar power plant decreased by 12.5% to 2.8 mln kWh due to fewer sunny days during the reporting period.

Heat supply increased by 7% to 15.3 mln Gcal, which the company attributed to weather conditions, as the average monthly temperature over the six-month period was 2.5 degrees Celsius lower than in the first half of 2025.
