Thus, the planned target for the month for production was fulfilled by 110.2%. In just 7 months of this year, 113.5 billion kWh of electricity was generated, which is 2.9 billion kWh more than the planned target. The growth in electricity generation by nuclear power plants was largely achieved by optimizing the timing of the repair company. At the beginning of August, the reduction of scheduled repairs, while maintaining the high quality of work, amounted to 106 days, which made it possible to achieve an economic effect of about 1 billion rubles. A total of 41 repairs of 33 power units with a duration of 1854 days are planned in 2015. According to experts, the increase in generation indicates the importance of nuclear energy in the structure of the country's energy balance: for example, on the one hand, the growth in nuclear energy production made it possible to reduce the growth rate of the average price for the end user, due to the growth in the cost of gas power plants. On the other hand, the output of nuclear power plants compensated for the decrease in the output of hydroelectric power plants (by 14.5%) associated with an unfavorable hydrological situation. In the past, in 2014, an absolute record was achieved in the generation of electricity by Russian nuclear power plants in the amount of 180.5 billion kWh. This year it is planned to exceed this achievement, including through the operation of power unit No. 3 of the Rostov NPP, which was connected to the grid at the end of 2014 and is currently in pilot operation mode. At present, Rosenergoatom NPPs account for about 17% of the total electricity generation in Russia.
