The inflow of water to the dam of the HPP is 2700 cubic metres per second, and the water is released through the spillway at a rate of 1560 cubic metres per second. The level of the headrace and the release of water through the hydro-engineering structures of the power station comply with the water release regime recommended by the Water Administration of the Angaro-Yenisei Basin, adjusted in the operating mode.  The level of the upper pool is 537.41 metres (the normal level being 539 metres).  The level of the lower pool is 324.13 metres.
