Two new coal-fired power units – STU-660 at the Troitsk SDPP and STU-330 at the Novocherkassk SDPP – were put into operation today during the annual General Shareholders Meeting of Gazprom.
The total installed capacity of the new power units is around 1 GW.
The meeting participants communicated with Denis Fyodorov, Director General of Gazprom Energoholding who was at the Novocherkassk SDPP, and Denis Bashuk, Director General of OGK-2 who was at the Troitsk SDPP, via a video call.
The newly commissioned power units will enhance the reliability of power grids in southern Russia and the Ural District, as well as increase Gazprom Group’s competitiveness in the electric power and capacity markets. The cutting-edge equipment provides for substantial fuel savings and significant reductions in environmental load during power generation.
Alexey Miller, Chairman of the Gazprom Management Committee, congratulated Gazprom shareholders and Gazprom Group’s generating companies on the commissioning of important generating facilities.
