2009 Sayano-Shushenskaya hydro accident
On 17 August 2009, an accident occurred at RusHydro's largest plant at Sayano-Shushenskaya in eastern Siberia.[8] The turbine hall and engine room were flooded, the ceiling of the turbine hall collapsed, 9 of 10 turbines were damaged or destroyed, and 75 people were killed.[9] The entire plant output, totaling 6,400 MW and a significant portion of the supply to the local grid, was lost, leading to widespread power failure in the local area, and forcing all major users such as aluminum smelters to switch to diesel generators.[6] The plant was restarted at reduced output power on 24 February 2010.[10]
