Continuing expansion of the power genera-
ting and transmitting capabilities of the central
Siberian power grid, the eastern half of the
Siberian power system, is evident from a survey
of all available photography (from KEYHOLE
missions since
The photography indicates some modifications
to published Soviet circuit diagrams for both
installed and planned circuits.
This report is in answer to a requirement
for a photographic analysis of the availability
of electric power in the central Siberian region
of the USSR. It is the second in a planned series
of photographic interpretation reports on the
distribution of electric power in specific areas
of the USSR, particularly where installations
in an area are supplying power for the Soviet
atomic energy program.*
The "Unified National Grid" planned by the
Soviets to cover the European USSR also will
extend through the Unified Siberian Power
System (Yedinaya Energosistema SSR Sibiri)
eastward to Lake Baykal. 1/ The electric power
grid in central Siberia constitutes the eastern
half of this unified Siberian power system (Fig-
ure 1). The central Siberian region as defined
in this report extends north and south of the
Trans-Siberian Railroad from 90 to 105 degrees
east longitude and includes the major industrial
centers of Krasnoyarsk on the Yenisey River
and Irkutsk on the Angara River. The power
grid of this region serves two atomic energy
complexes in the vicinity of Krasnoyarsk (at
Dodonovo 2/ and Zaozernyy 3/) and one in the
vicinity of Irkutsk (at Angarsk).
This study is based on an examination of

all available KEYHOLE photography through

ENT photography or other aerial photography
of the area before- is available. Published
reports on the atomic energy complexes at
Zaozernyy 3/ and Angarsk 4/ which were based
in part on-photography may revise or up-
date information presented in this report.
Although published Soviet circuit diagrams
of the unified power system planned for Siberia
were available for study, 1/ estimates of volt-
ages and numbers of circuits for 500-kilovolt
(kv) and 220-kv power lines are generally based
on photographic interpretation confirming or
revising other data. Estimates for 110-kv cir-
cuits are almost entirely based on photographic
interpretation.
Atmospheric limitations precluded positive
identifications of several electric power in-
stallations from photography. For example,
all photography of the Krasnoyarsk area was
obscured by clouds, haze, or smoke; similarly,
the town of Cheremkhovo was obscured by smog.
In some cases the plotting of electrical cir-
cuits is based on conjecture. The nature of
such limiting conditions and the reliability of
interpretations are noted on the circuit dia-
grams (Figures 2-5) and in Table 1 which
provides descriptions of the region's power
plants.

The central Siberian power grid will even-
tually be united to the rest of the national grid
by extending the Angarsk-to-Nazarovo 500-kv
power line west through Novosibirsk and Omsk
(Figures 1-5) to the unified system of the
European USSR. Within the grid area studied
220-kv power lines will effect major distri-
bution and 110-kv lines paralleling the Trans-
Siberian and East Siberian railroads will sup-
ply the electrified rail lines and communities
along them.
500-kv Power Lines. The first 500-kv
power line is currently under construction.
When completed it will extend eastward from
Nazarovo, the site of a major thermal power
plant (Nazarovskaya KES), via Krasnoyarsk,
Zaozernyy, and Tayshet, to Bratsk, the site
of a large but uncompleted hydroelectric plant
(Bratskaya GES),
The section of this power
line between Krasnoyarsk and Bratsk is under
construction. In some stretches, particularly
between Tayshet and Bratsk, the trace for the
power line has not been cut and the point where
the power line is to cross the Yenisey River
in the vicinity of Krasnoyarsk could not be
identified.
Other 500-kv lines are planned in the fu-
ture to link three hydroelectric projects (Yeni-
seyskaya GES, Boguchanskaya GES, and Ust-
Ilimskaya GES) and farther north outside the
central Siberian grid to a fourth GES planned
near Osinovo on the Yenisey River (Figure 1).
i,arge 500-kv switching yards were ob-
served at Nazarovskaya KES and Bratskaya
GES and 500-kv substations were identified at
the atomic energy complexes at Zaozernyy and
Angarsk. Substations for handling 500-kv power
are planned to be located at Tayshet and Kansk.
A possible 500-kv substation is identified at
Tavshet but one at Kansk has not been identified.
A major substation for 220- and 110-kv lines
is located at Tulun, but this substation appar-
ently will be bypassed by the two Bratsk-
Angarsk 500-kv lines. A site southeast of
Tulun which was previously reported as a
major substation under construction 5/ is re-
identified as a. cluster of heavy angle sup-
ports for 500-, 200-, and 110-kv circuits which
change direction at this point. Similarly, a site
near Cheremkhovo previously suspect as a sub-
station is reinterpreted as containing only sup-
port towers (Figure 5). 5/
As of 500-kv power could
not be transmitted over any section of the 550-
kv lines. Some 220-kv power was possibly being
transmitted over the Nazarovo-Krasnoyarsk and
Bratsk-Angarsk sections of the 500-kv line.
One of the two planned single-circuit 500-kv
power lines between Bratsk and Angarsk is
completed and sections of the second power
line were observed under construction as of
(Figures 4 and 5). 4/ While
the 500-kv circuits of this line are not yet
connected with n 500-kv switching yard at the
Bratskaya GES, the completed circuit is tem-
porarily tied into the adjacent 220-kv switching
yard at the GES and probably into the 220-kv
switching yard of the substation at the Angarsk
Atomic Energy Complex.
220-kv Power Lines. In addition to 220-kv
power being transmitted over the 500-kv power
line (discussed above), single-circuit 220-kv
power lines connect Bratsk and Irkutsk in-
stallations to the Angarsk installation (Fig-
ures 4 and 5). Additioned 220-kv power lines
are being constructed in the Angarsk/Irkutsk
area (Figure 5) and power lines (probably 200-kv)
are identified in the Nazarovo/Krasnoyarsk/
Dodonovo area 'Figures 2 and 3).

Railroad Power Lines. In the area studied,
the Trans-Siberian Railroad is completely elec-
trified between Achinsk, north of Nazarovo, and
Slyudyanka along the railroad on the south-
western tip of Lake Baykal. A trace for a new
power line is being prepared eastward from
Slyudyanka along the railroad on the southern
shore of the lake towards Ulan-Ude (Figure 1).
The East Siberian Railroad, which branches from
the Trans-Siberian Railroad at Tayshet and
extends eastward via Bratsk to Lena near Ust-
Kut on the Lena River, is also being electrified.
Photography indicates that the Trans-Si-
berian Railroad is served by a two-circuit 110-
kv power line which generally parallels the
railroad at a distance averaging about one mile.
Both circuits are tied into a number of trans-
former substations which serve both the rail-
road and communities along the rail line (Fig-
ures 2-5). Between these substations, one of
the two circuits is tied into two or three addi-
tional, intermediate substations for railroad use
basically. In some cases, the names of sub-
stations are derived from the official Soviet
railway schedule. 8/
The Trans-Siberian Railroad operates un-
der alternating current (ac) between Achinsk
and Zima and under direct current (dc) between
Zima and Slyudyanka. Transformer substations
for ac operations are sited about 35 to 40
miles apart; the transformer/rectifier substa-
tions for dc operations are sited approximately
25 miles apart. Substations for dc operations
are usually larger in area than those for ac
operations and include an ac/dc rectification
building of standard size, measuring approxi-
mately 6/ This building also
houses an overhead catenary maintenance car.
Exploitation of hydroelectric power re-
sources of the Angara and upper Yenisey river
basins is a major factor in the plan for the
development of electric power in central Si-
beria. 1/ In particular, Soviet engineers appear
to be planning to use the Angara River cascade
of hydroelectric power plants as a primary
power source and to use thermal power plants
in the central Siberian area for providing sup-
plementary power and supplying local power
needs. This reliance on hydroelectric power
contrasts with the usual Soviet practice of
relying primarily on thermal generated power
and using hydroelectric power for backup. Ta-
ble 1 provides descriptions of the power plants.
operational as of and one (Brat-
skaya GES on the Angara) was partially com-
pleted and partially operational. Heavy con-
struction had begun on one (Krasnoyarskaya GES
on the Yenisey). A possible site for another (Bo-
guchanskaya GES on the Angara) was identified.
Angara Cascade. Reliance on the Angara
River as a power source is possible because
the river's regime, unlike those of the Yenisey
and other major Russian rivers, is character-
ized by an unusually uniform volume of flow
throughout the year. The river's volume of
flow is regulated by Lake Baykal which acts as
a vast control reservoir. The level of the
lake is being raised about 5 feet by the dam for
the hydroelectric power plant at Irkutsk.
Photography of Bratskaya GES indicated
that four turbogenerators are in operation
and that the head of water is at two-thirds of
the planned water level. The GES was esti-
Of the hydroelectric power plants planned
for the central Siberian region, only one (Irkut-
skaya GES on the Angara) was completed and

Foundations are being constructed in the river
bed; a rock and earth coffer dam projecting
from the left hank of the gorge protects the
site. The new community of Divnogorsk, loca-
ted on the right bank, houses workers employed
on the project. Three other hydroelectric pro-
jects are planned for the upper reaches of the
Yenisey in the vicinities of Minusinsk, Sayanskiy,
and Chaa-Khol (Bolshaya Tuvinskaya GES).
Of major thermal electric power plants in
the central Siberian region, four (at Nazarovo,
Krasnoyarsk, Zaozernyy., and Angarsk) are at
least in partial operation and a fifth majorther-
mal power plan- is planned for a location appar-
ently near Azev. All power plants are located
near the Trans--Siberian Railroad and are tied to
the railroad power line by 110-kv circuits. The
on-site power plants at Zaozernyy and Angarsk
atomic energy complexes are TETS serving the
complexes through internal 110-kv circuits and
the power plant 8t Krasnoyarsk (Krasnoyarskaya
KES) serves the Dodonovo atomic energy com-
plex 2/ through 110-kv and probably 220-kv
circuits. Two of these power plants--Kras-
noyarskaya KEG; and the A:igarsk on-site TETS---
are complete (no indication of future expansion)
and apparently in full operation.
The Nazarovo power plant and the one
planned near A7ey are also designated as GRES
since they have regional functions. Only the
Nazarovo power plant, which when completed
will be the largest thermal power plant in the
region, will be directly tied to a 500-kv power
line. (The on-site TETS at the Zaozernyy and
Angarsk atomic energy complexes are indirectly
tied--through 110-kv circuits--to the 500-kv
line which will service 'he complexes.) The
Nazarovo powe plant will also be tied into
220-kv lines; the power plant at Krasnoyarsk is
also apparently tied into 220-kv lines.

of power.
A possible site (58-25N 98-20E) for Bo-
guchanskaya GES 7/ on the lower reaches of
the Angara River was identified. Activity re-
sembling geological investigation was observed.
A rail line branching off the Trans-Siberian
Railroad west of Tayshet at Reshoty was
under construction northward toward the site
(Figure 1). The rail line will cross the Biryusa
River at Shelayevo where a bridge is under
construction. Four of six steel spans for the
bridge are in place. The right of way for the
rail line has been cut northward since -
to a point (57-17N 97-48E) near
the Chuna River. The exact site for a rail-
road bridge to cross this river could not be
identified. The rate of construction activity
suggests that the rail line will reach the pos-
sible site for Boguchanskaya GES sometime in
1964. Heavy construction on the GES cannot
begin until a rail line for transporting heavy
construction equipment to the site is completed.
According to the Soviet press, the site for
.Ust-llimskaya GES has been selected, but the
lack of photo coverage up to
precluded identification of the site. Photog-
raphy does reveal preliminary construction for
either a highway or a railroad extending north-
ward from Novyy Bratsk in the probable direc-
tion of the site.
Yenisey River Development. Soviet plans
for exploiting the Yenisey River water resources
include construction of the largest GES in cen-
tral Siberia at a location in the vicinity of Yeni-
seysk. The site for this GES has not been identi-
fied on photography. The second largest, Kras-
noyarskaya GES, is observed under construction
on the Yenisey upstream from Krasnoyarsk.

At the Nazarovskaya KES in- one
and possibly two turbogenerators were observed
in operation and smoke was being emitted from
one of the two completed stacks. An addition
to the generator hall for at least a third turbo-
generator appeared to be completed, and ex-
cavation was under way for foundations accom-
modating possibly three more turbogenerators
and their boilers.

Zaozernyy Atomic Energy Complex, although
under construction at the end of was

Azeyskaya GRES is planned for construction
by 1975. Although its designation indicates a site
near the village of Azey in the vicinity of Tulun
and a site on the Trans-Siberian Railroad near
Azey was previously suggested, 5/ noconstruc-
tion activity was observed in the Tulun/Azey
area on later, more definitive stereo photography.
Other thermal power plants which may or
may not be tied into the central Siberian power
grid are relatively small. Most of them serve
the local needs of communities and installations.
Some may generate power for the Trans-Si-
berian Railroad. These small power plants
are listed in Table 1 for information only.
In most instances, no photographic interpre-
tation was attempted.

*In Soviet terminology, a hydroelectric plant is designated GES, but thermal electric power plants are designated variously:
TETS--a heat and thermal power plant; KES--a condensating thermal power plant which uses all of its steam for power pro-
duction: and GRES--a regional thermal power plant which may be a TETS or a KES.
