The modernization of hydro unit No. 6, the penultimate of ten, has been completed at the Votkinsk HPP in the Perm region.
All equipment was replaced with more modern, powerful, and energy-efficient equipment. The work was completed in record time — in 329 days instead of the standard 350. After testing, the unit's capacity will increase from 100 to 115 MW.
The planned modernization of the station started in 2017, when the first unit was replaced. Since then, one updated machine has been put into operation annually. After the completion of the project next year, the total capacity of the station will increase from 1020 to 1150 MW.
