A new port to be constructed at Sayano-Shushinskaya HPP
A new port will be constructed at the foot of Sayano-Shushinskaya HPP to provide the opportunity of installation of new hydraulic units instead of those damaged in the distress. As per Rossiiskaya Gazeta, the hydraulic units will be delivered to Khakassia from Saint-Petersburg. The equipment will be shipped by Silovye Mashiny. Construction of each unit will cost approximately RUR 1 billion, its transportation — 3 billion.
It is necessary to remind, Sayano-Shushinskaya HPP was stopped because of the distress, morning August 17, 2009 when a water flow rushed into the turbine room, having destroyed three hydraulic units of HPP and caused damage to the rest ones. There are 10 hydraulic units 640 MW each installed in HPP. HPP reconstruction will take several years.
