Electricity generation at En+ hydropower plants on the Angara cascade - Irkutsk, Bratsk, and Ust-Ilimsk - rose by 5.4% to 21.5 bln kWh, supported by water reserves in Lake Baikal and the Bratsk Reservoir, as well as high water levels in the reservoirs. En+ thermal power plants generated 9.3 bln kWh, down 3.1%. The decline was due to higher electricity generation at the Angara cascade hydropower plants. In the first half of the year, electricity generation at the Abakan solar power plant decreased by 12.5% to 2.8 mln kWh due to fewer sunny days during the reporting period.
