The production of power was 10 855 GWh in October, which is a decrease of 8.0 per cent compared with last year. Average production has been 10 310 GWh in October for the last ten years. The reservoir level was in the middle of October 72.9 per cent of total capacity compared with 78.6 per cent at the same time last year.
