The total estimated annual electricity generation of Akhtubinskaya SES is 110 GWh, which will avoid 58 thousand tons of carbon dioxide emissions and save 33 million cubic meters of natural gas. 

Earlier, the Hevel group of companies built and put into operation in the Privolzhsky district of the Astrakhan region a 15 MW solar power station Niva, as well as a Funtovskaya SES with a capacity of 60 MW.

Thus, the installed capacity of solar power plants managed by Hevel GC in the region reached 135 MW. Building rights were obtained by structures of the Hevel group of companies as a result of the acquisition of a portfolio of solar power projects in the summer of 2017.
