RAO "UES of Russia" commissions Sochinskaya TPP

Moscow, 20 December 2004. Today, the Sochinskaya TPP has been put into pilot operation. The inauguration ceremony was attended by the Chairman of the Management Board Anatoly Chubais and the Head of the Krasnodar Kray Administration Alexander Tkachev.

The installed capacity of the Sochinskaya TPP is 78 MW of electricity and 25 Gcal/h of heat. The power plant will generate 550.3 million kWh of electricity and 77,040 Gcal of heat annually.

The Sochinskaya TPP is a top priority capital construction project in the electricity industry. The project to construct the Sochinskaya TPP is financed in accordance with the Investment Programme of RAO "UES of Russia". In 2004, the amount of funds spent on the project by RAO "UES of Russia" totalled RUB3.65 billion in funds earmarked for investment and loans. Next year, RAO "UES of Russia" will allocate RUB2.6 billion for principal and interest payments on the loan raised in 2004.

The Sochinskaya TPP is the third large power plant in Russia to use the combined-cycle technology. The first one was the Severo-Zapadnaya CHPP in St.-Petersburg, and the second one was PGU-200 at Tyumenskaya CHPP-1. The combined-cycle technology helps increase the efficiency of thermal generation from 35-38% to 51% and reduces the consumption of natural gas by 30%. The up-to-date equipment installed at the power plant was produced by the leading Russian and foreign manufacturers, including Siemens and Power Machines Group.

The Sochinskaya TPP is a unique generation project. The construction was carried out in a resort area characterized by complex soils and high seismicity, which is why the most stringent technological and environmental requirements were imposed on the power plant's equipment and the quality of construction. Despite that, for the first time in a long period of time, the power plant was designed, built and into operation within a very short timeframe—a mere two years.

The commissioning of the Sochinskaya TPP will ensure reliable and uninterrupted power for consumers in the city of Sochi and the surrounding areas, and meet the growing energy demand in the region in connection with the creation of a recreation zone called "Krasnaya Polyana".
