According to the Fifth Five=fear Plan, the total capacity of steam electric
power stations will be doubled msinly by enlarging existing ones. The total
capacity of the hydroelectric Hower stations will be tripled by having in
operation the Kuybys`.evekaya i,ES with a capacity of 2,100,000 kilowatts, the
Kamakaya GEE, Gor'kovehaya GF3, Mingechaurokaya GEE, Usti-Kameniogorskaya Gffi,
Narvskaya GES in the Estonian SSR, and others with a total capacity oP 1,916,000
kilowatts.
In addition to tae Stalingradekaye GF8 and Kakhovekaya GEE, which are now
being built, construction of a number of ew GFS will be started during the
Five-Year Plan. These include the Cheboksarskays GES on the Volga River,
Votkinekaya on the Kama River, bukhtarminskays on the Irtyah River, Kaunaeskeyn
on the Neman River in the Lithuanian SSSR (1), and a GFS on the Obi River near
Novosibirek.(2)
Since the Elektrosile Plant imeni Kirov in Leningrad manufactures most of
the hydroturbines for the GE3, the plant will have to increase its production
7.B times over 1950 by the end of the Fifth Five-Year Plan to equip the pro-
tected GES.(3) The production of steam turbines will be increased 2.3 times
in the same period.(4)
Construction of the Nizhsie-Svirekaya GEE, which was put into operation on
19 December 1933 with as i^eTnlled capscit of 116,000 kilowatts, coat 2,600
rubles for one kilowatt of its capacity.(5~

Volkhovskaya GES was put into operation on 19 December 1926; during 5a5Go
hours of annual operation, it produces 356 million kilowatt-hours at the rate
of 1.8 kopek for one kilowatt-hour. A large steam electric pager station
produces one kilovatt-hour at the rate of 5 kopeks.
ftizhne-Svirskaya CES, which was completed on 19 December 1933, could at
flat time develop up to 125,000 kilowatts with an average annual output of 600
million kilowatt-hours. It has four hydroturbinea of 29,000 kilpwatts each and
two 6f 2,500 kilowatts each. Its power costa 2.1 kopeks per kilowatt-hour.
The completed Dnepro GES had nine aggregates of 62,000 kilowatts each
totaling 556,000 kilowatts and a tenth aggregate for its own use of 3,500
horsepower. Annual output was 2.9 billion kilowatt-hours at 0.6 kopek per
kilowatt-hour.(51
The scat of electric paver in 1950 was below the coat in 1945 in comparable
prices by over 25 percent. The Five-Year Plan for reducing the cost of
electric paver was fulfilled in 3,i-, years. Daring the last 4 years of the
planned period (1948 - 1951), about one billion rubles oP extra profit xere
made over the planned profit by improving the performance of paver systems
and power stations, by reducing losses of power through leaks, and by reducing
the number of personnel.(7)
