On November 16, at about 6:00 pm, power unit 8 and two turbines of Dobrotvirska TPP were shut down after the current relay was actuated at the transformer. As a result, the power plant shut down. At about five o’clock in the morning of November 17, power engineers switched on turbine 5.
The power engineers responded immediately to the shutdown of the power unit and turbines to repair the consequences of the transformer disconnection. So far, turbine 5 has resumed operations, and start-up operations are in progress to resume the operations of power unit 8 and turbine 6.
The incident and repairs did not disrupt electricity supply to Dobrotvir residents. The proper heat and hot water supply to the town will be resumed in a matter of hours.
As soon as the power equipment operation is completely resumed, the company will issue an additional notice.
