Environmental Stewardship

Our main hydropower production facilities are located in Siberia. Almost two thirds of their energy production depend on the water flow of the Angara, the sole river flowing out from Lake Baikal – the world’s oldest, largest and deepest freshwater lake. Being reliant on the lake, we recognize we have a responsibility to create partnerships and coalitions to protect Baikal and its unique biodiversity, as well as our other regions of operation. These partnership initiatives, combined with our commitment to reduce our impact on water resources and cut levels of waste, comprise our broader Environmental Stewardship Programme contributing to UN SDGs 6, 12 and 15.

Goals:

By 2030, eliminate untreated wastewater discharge generated by the Power segment

By 2030, minimise non-production water losses through technological optimisation

By 2024, develop programmes and action plans for biodiversity conservation for pilot facilities (for three existing operational facilities in each segment)

By 2030, develop programmes and action plans for biodiversity conservation for the Group’s facilities with significant biodiversity risks

Installing bird-protecting devices

En+ installs bird-protecting devices to prevent the death of birds from contacting power lines and deterring them from landing on power line pylons and minimise the risks of outages and reduce the number of short-circuits on lines caused by birds.

Assessing the impact of HPP operation on aquatic bioresources

In 2022, a comprehensive assessment of the impact of the operation of the Angara cascade HPPs on the state of aquatic biological resources in the areas of their impact was carried out in two stages.

Advanced methods to use ash and slag waste
