Russia has achieved full technological independence in the hydropower sector, according to TASS.
The report cites Russia's General Scheme for the Development of Electric Power Facilities through 2042, which envisages the commissioning of 6.7 gigawatts of new hydropower generation capacity. This includes seven hydroelectric power plants and four pumped-storage power plants, TASS reported.
The report did not specify a timeline for individual projects within the plan, nor did it name the specific companies or regions involved in the new hydropower facilities.
Pumped-storage power plants are typically used to balance electricity grids by storing energy during periods of low demand and releasing it during peak demand, though the report did not elaborate on how the new facilities would be used within Russia's broader grid.
