The results of its application to ensure the safety of electricity, increasing the efficiency of production equipment, the preservation of the environment and biological resources.
One of the priorities of the joint venture will be environmentally friendly technologies. In particular, pre-researched turbine project for the Saratov HPP provides a fundamental change chamber design of the impeller and the impeller, which will be carried out with the blades S-shaped type and the bottom location of the servo. This design is patented by Voith Hydro and makes turbine fish passage `` (Fish friendly), which can significantly reduce the damage and mortality of fish during its passage through the turbine.
Furthermore, the design of hydraulic turbines eliminates the ingress of engine oil into the water.

The company `Voith Hydro` (`Voith Hydro GmbH Co.KG`) - the world famous supplier of environmentally friendly hydropower equipment and a world leader in the design and construction of hydroelectric power plants, offering an integrated solution for installing `turnkey` hydro-mechanical equipment, turbine and generator equipment , a subsidiary of mechanical and electrical systems, control systems, upgrade services and upgrading, as well as independently producing all major hydropower equipment. Under contracts with Voith up a third of the total installed hydro capacity in the world, which corresponds to 300,000 MW. The company `Voith Hydro` - developer of the turbines, the construction of which completely eliminates the ingress of engine oil into the water.
