RusHydro will postpone the commissioning of two 225 MW units at the Neryungrinskaya GRES from January 2026 to December 2027, with capacity delivery starting in April 2028. The government commission approved the delay without penalties due to high workload at Power Machines. The company also seeks to postpone new units at Yakutskaya GRES-2 and Artemovskaya CHPP-2. Analysts warn that such penalty-free deferrals undermine market-based profitability principles in the energy sector.
