Deputy Premier Igor Sechin on Monday will launch hydropower unit 4 of Siberia's Sayano-Shushenskaya Hydropower Plant, damaged in a deadly accident last August.
This event will be shown in time of a video conference organized by Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. Energy Minister Sergei Shmatko, members of the governmental commission for Sayano-Shushenskaya Hydropower Plant restoration and other officials will participate.
An accident occurred at the Sayano-Shushenskaya plant on Siberia's Yenisei River in August 2009, killing 75 people and destroying a turbine hall. The accident also destroyed three hydropower units and damaged the other seven. The plant is under reconstruction. All repair works at the hydropower plant are expected to be completed by December 2014.
Hydropower units 5 and 6 have been operating since December 30, 2009.
