In the structure of its prime cost, the cost of electricity is about 30%. Electricity tariffs play a huge role in the development of the aluminum industry in different countries. more details Helpful information Strategy Energy in the aluminum industry Key Markets: China BEMO Boguchansk Energy Metallurgical Association (BEMO) Together with RusHydro, a Russian hydropower producer, RUSAL is building an energy and metallurgical complex in the Nizhny Priangarye (Krasnoyarsk Territory), which will include an aluminum plant with a capacity of 600 thousand tons and a hydroelectric power plant with a capacity of 3,000 MW. The first four hydroelectric units of the Boguchanskaya HPP were put into operation at the end of 2012. The agreement on joint implementation of the BEMO project was signed by RUSAL and RusHydro in 2006. BEMO is the largest energy and metallurgical project in the world today. Its implementation will create about 10 thousand jobs. In July 2007, public hearings were held in the Krasnoyarsk Territory and the Irkutsk Region on the materials of the “Social and Environmental Assessment of the Construction of the 3000 MW Boguchanskaya HPP”, carried out in accordance with international banking requirements. In December 2007, in the Boguchansky district, public hearings were held on the construction project for the Boguchansky aluminum plant. Public hearings on the materials of the Environmental Impact Assessment of the Boguchanskaya HPP were held in 2008. Boguchansky Aluminum Smelter (BoAZ) BoAZ will become one of the main consumers of energy generated by the Boguchanskaya HPP. The industrial complex of the plant will include electrolysis, foundry and anode shops, power supply and infrastructure facilities. BoAZ will consist of two series with a capacity of about 296 thousand tons of aluminum per year each. Each series includes two production buildings. A total of 672 electrolysers will be installed at BoAZ. RUSAL's proprietary RA-300 technology makes it possible to produce 2442 kg of aluminum per day on one electrolyzer. There are also four gas purification systems, the use of a closed water purification system, which will be used for the first time in Russia in an aluminum production. It is planned to install equipment from the world's leading manufacturers from Canada, France, Australia and Germany at the plant. Boguchanskaya hydroelectric power station (BoGES) The construction of the Boguchanskaya HPP on the Angara River began in 1979. In the period from 1994 to 2005, construction was suspended due to the economic downturn and a decrease in demand for electricity and resumed in full in 2006 after the signing of an agreement between RUSAL and RusHydro on the construction of BEMO. The first three units of the Boguchanskaya HPP with station numbers 1, 2 and 3 were put into commercial operation on November 26, unit 4 on January 21, unit 5 on November 5, unit 6 on December 6, 2013 after the completion of the test program. The station began operating in commercial operation on the Wholesale Electricity and Power Market (WECM) from December 1, 2012. Совокупная мощность гидроагрегатов БоГЭС, допущенных Ростехнадзором к промышленной эксплуатации, составляет 1998 МВт, реальная (с учетом заполнения водохранилища до отметки 203 м) – 1420 МВт. Суточная выработка станции в ине-июле 2014 года превышала 32 млн кВт*ч. Всего с момента запуска БоГЭС поставила на ОРЭМ около 10 млрд кВт*ч, в том числе в первом полугодии 2014 года – более 4,3 млрд кВт*ч электроэнергии. Пуск станции на проектную мощность в 3000 МВт с вводом всех девяти гидроагрегатов будет зависеть от сроков наполнения водохранилища до проектной отметки 208 метров. После выхода на проектную мощность Богучанская ГЭС войдет в пятерку крупнейших российских гидроэлектростанций. Финансирование Стоимость проекта (без учета затрат на строительство инфраструктуры и очистку ложа водохранилища) оценивается в 5 млрд долларов. Проект финансируется за счет собственных и привлеченных средств РУСАЛа и «РусГидро». В июле 2010 года Наблюдательный совет ВЭБа одобрил предоставление кредитов на сумму 50 млрд рублей для завершения строительства комплекса. Развитие Нижнего Приангарья The Nizhny Priangarye Integrated Development Program is the largest investment project in Russia over the past 25 years. The regional development program is carried out on the principles of public-private partnership and provides for the creation and expansion of transport and energy infrastructure, the development of natural resources, as well as the construction of a pulp and paper mill. The BEMO project is a key element of this program - its implementation will create the energy base necessary for the development of industry in this region.
