In a short time, he restored the Sayano-Shushenskaya HPP after an accident, for which he was appointed head of RusHydro on the personal recommendation of the deputy prime minister of the Russian Federation Igor Sechin. As chairman of the board, he promptly eliminated the consequences of the disaster and returned the enterprise to normal. The station was restored ahead of schedule. He was responsible for the construction of the Nizhne-Bureiskaya HPP, which is still considered to be the most modern hydropower plant in the Far East.
