The equipment affected in SPP’s construction, is to 70% produced by Russian enterprises of electrical engineering and metal-processing industry.
Running the SPP will allow for increasing the reliability of power supply in the region and reducing the grid power losses.
The estimated power generation output of the Bichurskaya SPP will exceed 14,5 W*h per annum, which will ensure reduction of CO2 emission by 7 685 tons annually.
Besides, in terms of BRIF-2017 the agreement on photovoltaics regional development has been also signed between the Hevel Group and the Government of Buryatia.
