Generation
INTER RAO UES Group operates 37 thermal and 13 hydro power plants (including 9 small-scale HPP) in Russia, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Moldova and Turkey, as well as a 2 wind farms in Lithuania and Bashkiria and 9 small-scale plants (gas-turbine and gas reciprocating units) in Bashkiria.
Combined installed capacity of INTER RAO generation assets is approximately 33.5 GW.
INTER RAO development strategy is focused on further expansion in thermal power generation segment in Russia and internationally. The Group intends to own 40 GW of installed capacity by 2015. This would make INTER RAO a top ten corporation in the global energy market.
In 2012, INTER RAO launched a reorganization program for its generation assets.

INTER RAO development strategy is focused on further growth in heat power generation both in Russia and internationally. Through additional stock placement, the holding acquired stakes in a number of Russian generating companies which did not find the right ownership during the energy industry reform. As a part of our energy generation business strategy, we evaluate opportunities for acquisition of private energy assets suitable for integration into INTER RAO business model. According to our generating business strategy, combined installed capacity of INTER RAO power plants should exceed 40 GW in 2015. This will make us a top ten corporation in the global energy market.
