GT unit and ST unit foundations are completed on the Chelyabinsk CHPP-3 power unit under construction

The steam and gas turbine unit s foundations are completed in the main building. The GTE-160 gas turbine produced by OJSC "Leningrad metal plant" (part of OJSC “Silovye mashiny”) has been delivered to the site. In the short run the turbine will be placed on the foundation.

At present the HRSG is assembled in the turbine hall. In the main building extended part heating circuit is closed, turbine and boiler compartments soft roof is arranged. The foundations are ready, gas preparation station structural steel pre-installation is done. The 220 kV open switchgear is extended and cooling tower #3 and circulation piping is constructed.

 The Chelyabinsk CHPP-3 3rd power unit electric output will be 220 MW, thermal one- 146 Gcal/h. The power unit equipment will comprise the 160 MW GTE-160 gas turbine produced by OJSC "Leningrad metal plant", 60 MW steam cogeneration turbine by “Kaluga turbine plant” and HRSG manufactured by “ZiO” (city of Podolsk). Putting the CHPP 3rd unit into operation will increase reliability of power supply of the housing community consumers and industrial plants of the city of Chelyabinsk.
