1.2. About Us

Unipro Public Joint Stock Company^* is the most efficient company in the sphere of heat power generation in Russia.

The Company focuses on the production and sale of electric power and its capacity, as well as heat power. Unipro PJSC is also present in the Russian markets for distributed generation and engineering.

The Company’s efficient operation in the wholesale electricity and capacity market is down to its well-developed grid infrastructure and specific energy balances within the power zones. The drivers of demand for Unipro PJSC power plants are:

participation of Smolenskaya GRES in providing Belarus with an export electric power exchange;
location of Shaturskaya GRES in the Moscow Region representing an under-served market;
participation of Yaivinskaya GRES in supporting a power balance in the Bereznikovsko-Solikamsky hub.

Unipro PJSC has an important competitive advantage, as it holds Surgutskaya GRES-2 and Berezovskaya GRES with power units of large single-unit capacities (810 and 800 MW respectively) in its assets: these power plants are considered the most economically and operationally efficient among gas and coal power units using steam power technologies. As part of the investment programme, Unipro PJSC put the most efficient and sought-after equipment into operation.

Uniper Group — major shareholder of Unipro PJSC — is one of the global leaders in the traditional electric power generation sector. Uniper has hydroelectric, gas-fired, coal and nuclear power plants with a total capacity of 40 GW. The Group has assets in more than 40 countries around the world. Due to its large number of plants, the use of various different types of fuel and innovative solutions, Uniper is a reliable supplier of electric power, a large portion of which is produced using environmentally friendly technologies.
