General Information
The Mokskaya HPP complex is designed to consist of two stages - the Mokskaya HPP itself and the downstream counter-adjusting Ivanovo HPP. Construction of hydroelectric power station in as of September 2018 is not planned. There are a number of projects for its creation, but none of them have been brought to the construction stage.
The planned capacity of the Mokskaya HPP is 1200 MW, the average annual output is 4.68 billion kWh . The building of the hydroelectric power station should have 4 radial-axial hydraulic units of 300 MW each. The planned capacity of the Ivanovo HPP is 210 MW, the average annual output is 1.06 billion kWh. 3 hydroelectric units with a capacity of 70 MW each should be installed in the building of the hydroelectric station.
Economic value
Hydroelectric power plants are considered as a source of energy supply for enterprises planning to develop a number of promising deposits in Eastern Siberia, in particular, the Udokan copper deposit , the Ozernoye lead-zinc deposit, and uranium deposits. Hydropower stations are also considered as the basis for the electrification of BAM , as well as one of the sources to cover the shortage of the Buryat energy system. It is also possible to export part of the electricity generated by hydropower plants to China .
For the construction of hydropower plants it is possible to attract significant private investments, including foreign investment.
Project History
The hydropower station was explored in the 1930s . The name is given by the nearby gold mine (closed in 1966) IOC (Promising Spit). For a long time, the construction of hydropower plants was considered possible in the long run, since there was no need for such a powerful energy source in this low-lived area. Project work on hydropower plants intensified in the mid -1970s , with the start of the deployment of large-scale construction works on BAM. In some economic atlases of the USSR at the end of the 1970s - the beginning of the 1980s, this hydropower station is designated as being built. In reality, the station construction was not started, although a number of works were carried out - the site was studied, the station layout was determined (various options were considered, in particular, with the capacity of the Mokskaya HPP in 2010 MW (6x335 MW), 1,800 MW (6x300 MW), 1500 MW; the counter-regulator was also considered in various ways, in particular, with a capacity of 140 MW). By the end of the 1980s, a station project was created, it was planned to begin construction of hydropower plants in the 1990s .
The economic downturn of the early 1990s, accompanied by a drop in energy consumption, made the project irrelevant. Periodically arising proposals for its implementation, including the design of construction as an investment project of the Republic of Buryatia (in 1997 the feasibility study of the hydropower plant was developed), did not arouse investor interest. Since the beginning of the 2000s, energy consumption has begun to grow, leading to energy shortages by the middle of the decade. At the same time, in the course of the reform of RAO UES , JSC HydroOGK was established, which includes the majority of Russian hydropower plants and aims to develop hydropower in the country.

Chronicle
- At the beginning of May 2007, the HydroOGK investment program for the period 2007β2009 was approved, providing for the commencement of work on the construction project of the Mokskaya HPP. In particular, 200 million rubles should be allocated for design and survey work in 2007, and a total of about 1 billion rubles until 2009.
- On May 16, 2007, the head of RAO UES, A. B. Chubais, announced the start of work on the project. By the beginning of 2008, a rationale for the projectβs investments should be prepared, after which the design of hydropower plants should begin in 2008 . The beginning of the preparatory work directly at the station site is planned for 2009. The construction of the Mokskaya HPP is included in the draft program for the development of hydropower engineering in Russia until 2020. The construction of the Mokskaya HPP will create conditions for the construction of a hydropower plant cascade on Vitim, consisting of a project of 7 stations.
- On August 20, 2007, an agreement was signed on the creation of the Trans-Baikal Development Corporation, implying the construction of the Mokskaya HPP. According to the work plan, in 2008 a justification of the investment of the project will be prepared; in 2009, detailed design was carried out; in 2010, construction will begin with the launch of the first hydropower units in 2016-17.
- In May 2008, CJSC Boguchanskaya HPP, which is the customer of the feasibility study for the construction of the Mokskaya HPP, suspended this investment program.
- At the beginning of 2009, the investment program of JSC RusHydro for 2009 was approved, funds for the commencement of work on the Mokskaya HPP are not provided for.
