RusHydro jumped the most in a week Monday after Prime Minister Vladimir Putin signed off on the restart of another unit at its damaged Sayano-Shushenskaya station, where 75 people were killed in an accident in August.
The stock gained 1.5 percent to 1.46 rubles. RusHydro may restart a 640-megawatt unit at the plant, Putin told his deputy, Igor Sechin.
“The news will, in our view, improve sentiment over RusHydro and the overall view of the new management team,” VTB Capital analysts Dmitry Skryabin and Mikhail Rasstrigin wrote in a research note.

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.
