3.4.1. Installed capacity
The total installed capacity grew by 217,8 MW to 38,7 MW in 2015. The decrease in capacity of the RAO Energy Systems of the East Group by 57.7 MW was compensated by the commissioning of Gotsalinskaya HPP ( with the capacity of 100.0 MW) and Blagovesсhensk CHP (120.0 MW of capacity).
The growth of installed capacity also happened due to equipment remarking:
- Novosibirskaya HPP – by 5.0 MW;
- Kamskaya HPP – by 6.0 MW;
- Zhigulevskaya HPP – by 21.0 MW;
- Volzhskaya HPP – by 10.5 MW;
- Saratovskaya HPP – by 13.0 MW.
RusHydro Group has always occupied the first position in the rating of installed capacity among Russian power suppliers. The implemented investment programme gives grounds to expect it to save its leading position.

3.4.2. Electricity output
In 2015 electricity output grew by 5.36 billion kW·h (+ 4.5%) to 127,3 billion kW·h. Decrease of the electricity output of Zeyskaya HPP (-2,15 billion kW·h) was compensated for by the growth of the output of Boguchanskaya HPP (+ 4,72 billion kW·h) and at the plants of RAO Energy Systems of the East Group (+ 2,81 billion kW·h).
3.4.3. Electricity and capacity sales
For 2015 net sales of electricity and capacity by branches of PJSC RusHydro, which takes into account the purchase of electricity and capacity costs, increased by 2.9% y-o-y and amounted to 91 952.8 million rubles. The main factors that influenced the increase in revenue due to lower volume of electricity production by 2.7%:
- the growth of the DAM price in the second price zone due to:
- the growth of capacity purchase price at the КОМ for second price zone HPPs due to the liberalisation of the HPP capacity market dd. 05/01/2014;
- the indexation of adjustable electricity and capacity tariffs;
- the decrease of the amount and cost of purchasing electricity.

3.4.3.1. Electricity sales
Revenues in the DAM occupy the first position in the structure of the electricity sales revenues of the branches of PJSC RusHydro. Thereby, its share grew from 77.5% to 81.9% (+ 5,7%) in 2015 against the decrease of sales as per free bilateral contracts (FBC) by 29.% and the decrease of the volume of electricity sold in the balancing market (BM) by 7.1%.

3.4.3.2. Capacity sales
The main part of revenue from sales of capacity by the branches of PJSC RusHydro is formed by contracts signed within the CPA. Following the results of 2015, the share of such contracts grew from 54.6% to 55.2% with the growth of corresponding revenue by 7.5%. 46 % growth was registered as per contracts on capacity provision. In 2015, revenue went down by 21% as per free bilateral contracts.

Optimisation and increase of efficiency of operating activities
Pursuant to directive of the Government of Russian Federation no. 2303p-P13 dated 04/16/2015 on the decrease of operating costs (expenses), RusHydro Group implements a complex of measures aimed at the reduction of the index of the decrease of operating costs (expenses) by at least by 2% per annum starting from 2015.
The total effect of the implementation of such actions in 2015 (adjusted to meet inflation) against 2014 amounted to RUB 1.89 billion (adjusted to meet the actual rate of inflation), including RUB 0.64 billion of PJSC RusHydro (-3.9%) and AO – RUB 1.25 billion.
