In the direction of the nuclear energy industry have gained the planned target to reduce unit operating costs per 1 kW-h, - 2.5% compared with 2011. The unit costs at constant prices accounted for 90% of the 2008 level. This corresponds to the indicators identified in the program of the State Corporation "Rosatom" for the long term.

Financial performance of the State Corporation "Rosatom" is reflected in the statement of income in the amount of $million rubles

Key performance indicators in 2012, works to ensure the growth of the production of electricity from nuclear power:

- The actual amount of electricity Russian nuclear power plants amounted to 177.3 billion kWh (100.8% of the balance of the Federal Tariff Service of Russia and 102.7% over the same indicator in 2011);

- The actual amount of electricity deliveries amounted to 165.727 billion kWh (101.86% of the FTS of Russia approved the balance sheet and 102.57% of the actual amount for 2011);
