In 2021, DTEK Energo intends to allocate UAH 2.3 billion for current, medium and overhaul repairs of power units of its TPPs, the press service of the company said.
“This will reduce the accident rate of equipment, which was observed in this heating season due to the very high load at TPPs, and ensure stable operation in the power system,” the company said.
In March, four power units out of 29 planned for 2021 have already entered scheduled repairs. The task of workers of repair enterprises and power engineers of Burshtynska, Dobrotvorska, Kurakhivska and Luhanska TPPs is to repair technological and electrical equipment, heating surfaces of boilers, on which fistulas often appear, and also to diagnose metal structures.
In the spring, DTEK Energo is planning another seven ongoing and one major overhaul at its TPPs.
According to DTEK Energy CEO Ildar Saleev, due to the fact that the peak of the heating season in 2020/2021 has already passed, the load on the units has decreased and there is no need to work with a full set of equipment, the company has started a repair campaign to prepare for next winter.
“This winter has once again shown the need for shunting thermal generation by DTEK, which again lent a shoulder to the power system. The load of this heating season was 50% higher than the previous one, as well as, unfortunately, the accident rate. Due to the repair of the nuclear power plant, our stations worked with their full complement and promptly responded to the needs of the power system. If one power unit went into emergency repair, then we quickly compensated for the need by launching another,” he said.
At the same time, Saleev said that in order to stop the trend of accidents, it is necessary to stabilize the situation on the energy market, solve the problem of accumulated debts, and provide financial opportunities for generating facilities for repairs.
DTEK Energo is an operating company responsible for coal mining and power generation in the structure of the DTEK holding.
