Power Machines OJSC having offered the best technical and economical solution won a tender which preceded the contract signing.

In accordance with the contract terms Power Machines are to design, manufacture and supply four sets of hydropower units equipment each comprising an adjustable-blade turbine complete with automated control system, a hydrogenerator with excitation system as well as auxiliary equipment to the customer. Besides, Power Machines will install the hydropower units to the hydropower plant.

The commissioning of the Nizhne-Bureyskaya HPP hydropower units is scheduled for 2015 to 2016.

Nizhne-Bureyskaya HPP has been constructed since 2010 and the plant's erection is one of the priority projects of RusHydro JSC Investment Program.
