Russian hydro power to Finland, Norway
Northwest Russian electricity generator TGC-1 in 2010 exported a total of 1,3 TWh to Finland and Norway.
The Territorial Generating Company No 1 (TGC-1) – one of the biggest electricity generators in Northwest Russia, in 2010 increased its exports to the neighboring states with 1,2 percent to a total of 1,3 TWh, Oilru.com reports with reference to RIA Novosti.
Between 400-500 GWh of the export to Finland comes from the Lesogorskaya and Svetogorskaya Hydropower Stations in Leningrad Oblast. In addition, Finland also buys power from the Kaitakoski station in the Pasvik River, the border river between Russia and Norway, RIA Novosti writes.
TGC’s exports to Norway come from the Borisgleb station, also that located in the Pasvik River.
