The Caspian SGEM plant in Dagestan has launched serial production of Russian bucket hydro turbines "K-1" for small hydroelectric power plants (HPPs). The aggregates are developed by TurboGreen.
The first batch of 1 MW turbines with a localization of more than 70% was sent to the construction of the Samur HPP.
The development of Dagestan engineers opens up opportunities for using the energy potential of small and mountain rivers in the south of Russia, where there was no such equipment before, the Ministry of Energy of the Republic noted.
The company also started production of a new class of K-2 turbines with a capacity of 2.5 MW for the Orel and Bars HPPs.
