The Ministry of energy of the Crimea: the first units under construction CHP will launch in 2017

The first blocks of 2 construction in the Crimea basic thermal power plants with a capacity of 940 MW will be launched in 2017, with full Capacity expected to come out in 2018, said on Sunday the Minister of energy of Crimea Sergey Egorov.

on the last working day of the week Yegorov said that in the Crimea and Sevastopol commenced the erection of 2 basic thermal power plants with a capacity of 940 MW. The capacity of each of the power plants under construction in Simferopol and Sevastopol is 470 MW. Each station will have two units. The construction of station use modern equipment that does not consume much fuel, high efficiency, closed-loop water consumption. Power station raises Firm Technopromexport, a subsidiary of Rostec. First energy Minister Alexander Novak reported that the supply of electrical energy from the Kuban energy system in Crimea is expected to begin By the end of the year.

Federal target program for development of Crimea Until 2020 envisages the construction of a gas pipeline from the Kuban to Crimea. The price of a new pipeline is determined at 20 billion rubles, of which 14, accounted for 3 billion of work on the laying of pipe on the bottom of the Kerch Strait and the Peninsula.

"The moment you enter the base power plant pipeline (the Kuban, Crimea) will be built. The main source of gas supply 2 base stations will be under construction pipeline. The first units (power plants) will be launched in 2017, the total Power will be issued in 2018, " said correspondents Egorov.

The Minister did not rule out that the commissioning of the first units on 2 base stations will be at the expense of gas " Chernomorneftegaz ".

Crimea is 70% dependent on the supply of electric energy from Ukraine. According to the estimates of the Ministry of energy of the Russian Federation, the region needed an additional approximately 880 MW of capacity. Before the end of the current year, primarily energy bridge in the region should be introduced, which will allow to give to the Crimea from the mainland To 300-350 MW every day. The second phase will provide an opportunity to increase the power flow To 800-840 MW. In the framework of the Federal target program "Socially-economic development of the Republic of Crimea and city of Sevastopol Until 2020" on energy development of the Peninsula has 49 billion.
