Today, a hydraulic unit No. 2 with a load drop of 45 megawatts disconnected from differential protection at Uch-Kurgan hydropower station. It was removed out of service due to damage in the stator winding. All necessary spare parts are in stock. Consumers will not feel this, since the power reserve is 250 megawatts.
