The increase of the operating expenses is associated with the following factors:
- increase of electricity and capacity purchases (+37.3%), resulting from the changes in regulation on the wholesale market, in particular, terms of the electricity purchases for self consumption, and also in order to fulfill the obligations of export sales; current item’s share in the total costs is 11.6%;
- higher fuel expenses (+10.6%) associated with the growth of electricity generation; 57.1% in the total costs;
- considerable increase of heat transmission expenses (+36.4%) and decrease of rent expenses (-35.3%), due to the changes of the heat realization scheme and, as a result, change in the consolidated costs structure;
- depreciation growth (+25.4%) resulting from the commission of CCGT-180 unit at Pervomayskaya CHPP and hydro unit replacement at Lesogorskaya HPP at Vuoksi HPP Cascade. Current item’s share in 1Q2011 totals 6.4%.
Thus, IFRS operating profit in 1Q2011 rose by 34.1%, up to RUR 5,099 mn, and profit for the period totaled RUR 4,639 mn, which is 52.8% more than the same figure in the previous year.
