A 1 MW gas-turbine station, which will be the first in Ukraine, will be opened in Irpen on January 31, the head of the National Energy Regulator of the NKREKU Konstantin Ushchapovsky said.
“Tomorrow you have a landmark event – the opening of Ukraine’s first gas turbine station, which will allow to power the entire critical energy infrastructure of the city, if necessary,” – said Ushchapovsky during a meeting of the commission on Monday, addressing the mayor of Irpen Alexander Markushin, who was present at this meeting.
For his part, Markushin confirmed the information about the opening of the station, specifying that its capacity is 1 MW.
As reported, in late December 2022, Prime Minister of Ukraine Denis Shmygal in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine called gas turbine and gas piston mini power plants one of the options for creating alternative mobile generation in conditions of damage to the existing generation by Russian shelling.
