In preparation for the heating season, DTEK Burshtynska TPP is repairing its power units, BOP equipment, buildings, and structures. In the first half of the year, the plant has already made repairs to three power units and plans to perform three more before the end of the year. Investments made in repairs are expected to amount to UAH 546 million by the end of the year.
In the first half of the year, the company spent UAH 225 million on repairs at Burshtynska TPP, including equipment of its power units Nos. 5, 8, and 10. Burshtynska TPP plans to invest another UAH 321 million by the end of this year. This money will be spent on repairs of power units Nos. 7, 11, and 12, as well as BOP equipment, buildings, and structures.
‘Burshtynska TPP is a reliable and responsible enterprise. The plant’s load-following capacity ensures reliable operation of the Burshtyn Island and the Ukrainian UES during the peak demand periods. In seven months of 2021 alone, we supplied more than 4 billion kWh of electricity to the grid, which is 150 million more than planned. This is why the company has been actively stockpiling coal it produces as well as coal imported from Poland and performing repairs to its power units as part of the preparation for the autumn and winter season,’ commented Valerii Khomiakov, Director of DTEK Burshtynska TPP.
Investments made in the repairs at DTEK ENERGY’s TPPs since the beginning of the year amounted to UAH 878 million, and are expected to reach UAH 2.5 billion by the end of this year. It became possible to step up the repair once the situation on the electricity market returned to normal in August. It allowed the company to achieve economically justified prices and find the resources required to prepare the generation plants for the autumn and winter season.
