- Zaramagskaya HPP-1 (342 MW) in the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania.
The key investment projects of RusHydro Group in the Far East are:
- the third hydroelectric unit of Ust-Srednekanskaya HEPP with a capacity of 142.5 MW (Magadan region);
- Nizhne-Bureyskaya HPP (320 MW) in Amur region;
- Priority thermal power facilities constructed in the Far East in accordance with the Decree of President of Russia (Yakutskaya TPP -2 (1st stage), CHP in Sovetskaya Gavan, Sakhalinskaya TPP-2 (1st stage), the Blagoveschenskaya CHP (2nd stage).), and auxilary off-site facilities such as access motorways/railroads, infrastructure of electric and thermal power output, water-supply and -disposal systems, slag-and ash-disposal systems etc .;

Since 2012 PJSC RusHydro has been implementing the Programme of Complex Modernisation (PCM) – a project on the renovation of production facilities and equipment in the power industry, which is unique by its scale. According to the PCM, it is planned to replace more than a half of HPP capital equipment until 2025.
The programme is being implemented using innovative and energy-efficient solutions (the use of fibre-optical technologies, optical transformers, the deposition of nanostructured materials, the implementation of microprocessor-based control systems, vibration control systems, etc.).
2.4.5.2. Results of Programme implementation and Agenda 2016
Main results as of 2015:
- Kama HPP finished the scheduled modernisation of hydroelectric units.
- Three Volga HPP hydroelectric units were brought into operation after modernisation.
- Turbines and the mechanical parts of generators were replaced at three Zhigulyovskaya HPP hydroelectric units.
- The reconstruction of five Cheboksary HPP hydroelectric units was initiated, and other two hydroelectric units had already been finished.
- Three Saratov HPP hydroelectric units were brought into operation after modernisation.
- Novosibirsk HPP hydroelectric unit 5 was modernized.
