Gazprom said its power utilities' net income under Russian accounting standards fell 13 percent to 14.9 billion rubles ($496 million) because of higher fuel prices and financing expenses.
Electricity output declined 1.1 percent to 173 billion kilowatt-hours in 2011 after extreme cold the previous year, Gazprom Energoholding, the producer's power division, said Thursday in an e-mailed statement.
Revenue rose 8.4 percent to 323.5 billion rubles ($10.8 billion) as prices for electricity and heat increased, it said. Gazprom controls Mosenergo, OGK-2 and TGK-1.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
