On Monday, March 12, the General Director of OAO Mosenergo, A.Ya. Kopsov, chaired a meeting of the Standing Working Group of Moscow-area power company managers. On the agenda was a discussion of a power supply plan for the Moscow area to 2030 and a «viability» program for power plants during loss of connections with the power network.

On Tuesday, March 13, a meeting will be held on precommissioning the PGU-450T power-generating unit at TETs-27.

On Tuesday, March 13, a meeting of the Science and Technology Board will be held with the participation of the All-Russian Heat Engineering Research Institute (VTI) to discuss the development and introduction of powerful coal-fired, hypercritical-steam-operated power-generating unit with high energy-saving and ecological indices.

On Wednesday, March 14, a meeting on current questions of the design of the PGU-420 power-generating unit at TETs-26 will be held at OAO Mosenergo with the participation of representatives of Alstom and OAO EMAlliance.

On Wednesday, March 14, a meeting of the field construction headquarters for the PGU-450T power-generating units No. 3 and No. 4 will be held at OAO Mosenergo’s TETs-27. The directors of OAO Mosnergo’s special boards, subsidiaries belonging to the Company’s design and construction complex, and representatives of contractors and equipment suppliers will take part in the meeting.

On Thursday, March 15, the Science and Technology Board (STB) will meet to discuss modernization and increasing the installed capacity of TETs-8. A presentation of various engineering solutions by the German engineering company Fichtner GmbH & Co. KG is planned.

The turbine bases in the new main building of power-generating unit No. 3 at TETs-27 are currently nearing completion, and installation of the power boilers and preparation of the pile foundation of power-generation unit No. 4 are continuing. Installation of the steelwork of the main building of U 450T power-generating unit No. 11 is continuing at TETs-21.

Construction of new power-generating units and technical reequipment of OAO Mosenergo’s existing power plants are based on the latest steam-gas cycle technology, which guarantees an efficiency factor of 52-59% (at plants with steam-power units, the efficiency factor is no more than 38%). By 2010, OAO Mosenergo will have commissioned new steam-gas power-generating units at TETs-21, TETs-26, and TETs-27 and converted TETs-9, TETs-12, and TETs-20 to the steam-gas cycle – power plants located in electric energy demand centers and in areas of future urban development. The highly efficient steam-gas units allow gas savings of up to 25%, while reducing harmful atmospheric emissions by one-third. Commissioning of the first PGU-450 steam-gas power-generating unit at TETs-27 will take place in the fourth quarter of 2007. By 2010, Mosenergo will have commissioned more than 2400 MW of new capacity.
