Yuzhnaya TEC-22
Stroytransgaz signed a contract for a project to expand Yuzhnaya TEC-22, part of the Nevsky subsidiary of TGK-1, in St. Petersburg.
The addition of the new energy block will bring the expansion of TEC-22 to the next stage of design capacity. Stroytransgaz fulfills the entire complex of construction and assembly work for the chimney-type cooling tower and procure and install the equipment for the tower, which will have reinforced concrete sheathing 82 meters high. The irrigated area will cover 3,200 square meters.
The facility will be completed in 2010.
Background
Yuzhnaya TEC-22 was entered into exploitation in 1978. Today it is one of the largest plants in St. Petersburg’s heating supply system. It provides thermal power to industry, residences, and public buildings for the city’s Frunzensky and Nevsky regions.
Expansion plans for TEC-22 stipulate building the new gas-vapor energy block No. 4 with nominal electric generating capacity of 450 МW and heating capacity of 300 Gkal/hour. Work is scheduled for completion in late 2010, after which electric output at the TEC will rise to 1,250 MW and heating capacity—to 2,562 Gkal/per hour. The project is one of the priorities in the TGK-1 investment program to 2015.
