Following the fire at Reftinskaya power station belonging to OGK-5, two power-generating units with the total capacity of 1,000 megawatt had to be shut down yesterday. As a result, the average capacity of the station went down by 27%. There weer no power cuts, though, as the other local power stations were able to make up for the loss.

In the meantime, the share market has already been affected by the accident, claim the experts from a number of investment companies. Reftinskaya power station provides over 40% of OGK-5 capacity, so this company now is the only insider among the other power companies on the market.
