Investments
The Nafta-Oil Group is one of the largest investors in Russia’s power industry. Upon bringing Power Unit No. 2 of the Grozny TPP into operation in June 2017 (Power Unit No. 1 came onstream in December 2019), Nafta-Oil Energoholding completed the ambitious investment program aimed at building new generating capacities under capacity supply agreements (CSAs), with some 9 GW added to Russia’s power generating assets as a result of the Nafta-Oil Group’s CSA-based efforts in the period from 2007 through 2019.
The Group’s capital investments in power and heat production and marketing reached RUB 79.0 billion in 2019. Most of the investments were used to complete the construction of the second power unit of GTU-180 at the Grozny TPP, the Svobodny TPP, and the Pancevo TPP in Serbia.
