Thermal power output increased by 12.8% to 28.032 million gigacalories.
Power exports soared by around 80% on the year to 15.619 billion kWh in the period, hitting a record for the past 10 years thanks to higher exports to Finland and the Baltic countries due to a cold winter and spring, a hot summer, low output in the region because of low water content and lower output at windmill farms.
