Bratsk HPP

Bratsk is the second dam of the Angara cascade system. The plant was the world’s single biggest power producer since its commissioning in 1966 until Krasnoyarsk HPP reached 5,000 MW (with 10 turbines) in 1971.

The power plant is contained in a 924-metre-long and 124.5-metre-high reinforced concrete building. Its turbine hall contains 18 hydro turbine units, each generating 250 MW.
