Two security guards were shot dead when militants burst into the Baksan plant in the village of Islamei at about 5:00 a.m. (01:00 GMT). One other person was hospitalized after the attack.
Investigators say the militants then detonated four explosive devices. The resulting blaze covered an area of 250 sq meters. However, officials say supplies were not affected.
A police source told RIA Novosti that the militants who carried out the raid on the hydropower plant may have also been responsible for an attack on police that took place some two hours beforehand.
Measures have been taken to strengthen security on all of Russia's hydroelectric plants.
