OREANDA-NEWS. February 02, 2015. In 2014, the total electricity output by the TGC-1 power generating companies, including JSC Murmanskaya CHPP, amounted to 26,426 mln kWh, which is 9.8 % lower than in 2013.

The mains reasons for the reduction of electricity generation in 2014 were a general decline in electricity consumption, an ongoing downward trend in demand for electricity in the day-ahead market, and low water levels in the 1st— 3rd quarters of 2014.
