Yugo-Zapadnaya cogeneration plant
Stroytransgaz concluded a general contract for the construction of the Yugo-Zapadnaya cogeneration plant with company Yugo-Zapadnaya TEC in 2007. The project for the Yugo-Zapadnaya cogeneration plant is a very important one. It is being realized within the framework of updating energy generation for St. Petersburg. The plant’s entry into service will fully compensate for the shortfall in heating and electric energy in the southwest area of the city of St. Petersburg for the visible future and raise the reliability of the city’s energy systems as a whole.
The Yugo-Zapadnaya cogeneration plant will use an advanced gas-vapor cycle, which will increase the effectiveness of energy generation and reduce impact on the environment. Design capacity of the cogeneration plant is 570 MW of electricity and 660 Gcal/hour of heat per year.
Work includes furnishing equipment and material, preparing engineering surveys and project documentation, constructing and completing start-up complexes.
Stroytransgaz is working on the first phase of the facilities for the Yugo-Zapadnaya cogeneration plant. Design capacity of the first phase is 200 MW of electricity and 255 Gcal/hour of heat per year. Construction is expected to be completed in 2011.
