Technopromexport. Technopromexport () is a Russian engineering company that builds energy facilities in Russia and abroad, including hydropower, thermal, geo-thermal and diesel power plants, power lines and electricity substations. The company was formed in 1955, and was transformed into a joint stock company in April 2006. The company's charter capital is 15.7 billion rubles.  The company is headquartered in Moscow.

The company is engaged in construction of turnkey power engineering facilities including hydro power plants, thermal power plants, geothermal power plant, and diesel power plants, power transmission lines, and substations. Also, the company is involved in modernization and reconstruction of the existing power engineering facilities, comprehensive post-warranty service of the power engineering facilities, equipment delivery, construction of industrial and infrastructural facilities, and production of thermal and electric energy. Technopromexport carries out works within the structure of the EPC/EPCM contracts.

History 
The company was founded in 1955.  It was specialized in construction of power engineering facilities under the programs of cooperation with the countries of socialist orientation. During these years, Technopromexport implemented more than 400 power engineering projects in 50 countries of the world, among them the Aswan Hydropower Complex (Egypt), the Euphrates Hydrocomplex (Syria), the Hòa Bình Dam hydroelectric power station (Vietnam), and others. 

During the Yuri Andropov times it was the center of a major corruption case, which ended in executions of its director Yuri P. Smelyakov and his deputy, V.A. Pavlov. 

Since 1993, the company is present in the Russian power engineering market.

In 2006, the legal form changed from federal state unitary enterprise to open joint stock company.  Since 2009, Technopromexport is a part of the Rostec state corporation.  Technopromexport stands as observer in Electric Power Council of the CIS countries.
