In accordance with contract terms, Power Machines will design, manufacture and supply the hydro-power plant with nine hydro-power units, each with a power rating of 129 MW, as well as equipment for partially replacing major units of the functional hydro-power turbine generators at the Zhigulevskaya HPP.

Within the framework of the contract, specialists from Power Machines will also render services for installation supervision and will participate in start-up work for commissioning supplied equipment.

Installation of new hydro-power units with a power rating of 129 MW per unit will allow for the increase, proceeding from the performance coefficient of the hydro-power generator, of the power rating of each hydro-power generator with a rated head by 10.5 MW (from 115 MW to 125.5 ÌMW). Following equipment renovation at the Zhigulevskaya HPP, which will be carried out jointly by JSC RusHydro and Power Machines, the aggregate capacity of the hydro-power plant will increase 94.5 MW.
