Italian group Enel’s Russia unit OGK-5 said Tuesday that nine-month net profit in 2010 came in 66 percent higher than the same period last year because of higher Russia consumption and greater operating efficiency.
The company, 56 percent owned by Enel, said net profit reached 4.6 billion rubles ($149.4 million) for the nine months to end September, compared with a revised 2009 figure of 2.78 billion rubles. Net power output for the period was 16 percent above the corresponding period of 2009, the company said.
“The increase in net output was mainly driven by the growth of energy consumption due to economic recovery, colder weather conditions in the first quarter of the year and exceptionally hot temperatures registered during summer months,” it said.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
