OREANDA-NEWS. November 12, 2007.

The growth in the net profit is reported by the Company to be due to the increased share of the liberalized wholesale electricity market as of July 1, 2007, which enabled OGK-4 to gain additional benefit as opposed to the prices of the regulated market.

The increase in the Company's asset value is connected with higher receivables resulting from the advance payments made under the EPC contracts for the construction of new power units at Surgutskaya GRES-2 and Shaturskaya GRES.
