In context: how this plant compares
At 3.7 MW, Novotroitskaya HPP of the Cascade of the Kuban HPPs is below the median hydro plant in Russia (72 MW). Hydropower converts the energy of falling or flowing water into electricity; output depends on rainfall and reservoir level, and large dams also provide grid balancing and storage.
Capacity comparison computed from the WRI Global Power Plant Database; fuel-type context is general engineering background.
