Zaporizhzhia thermal power station

The plant was built by the Soviet Union between 1971 and 1977. The plant has two tall flue-gas stacks, which are among the tallest freestanding structures in Ukraine. The plant is not equipped with any flue gas desulphurization systems, and uses electrostatic precipitators to remove fly ash prior to the flue gas being exhausted via one of the two chimneys. Like many other coal-fired generating stations, the Zaporizhzhia site encompasses an ash pond. Coal ash from the boilers is delivered by pipe to the 135 hectare (333 acre) pond, where it is disposed of. The plant supplies power to the southern regions of Ukraine. == Unit specifications ==

As of January 1, 2021, the installed capacity is 2,850 MW: • 2 units (numbers 2 and 4) of 300 MW each with CCI-312 boilers and K-300-240-2 turbines • 2 units (numbers 1 and 3) of 325 MW each with CCI-312 boilers and K-325-23.5 turbines • 2 units (numbers 5 and 7) of 800 MW each with TGMP-204/Boilers and K-800-240-3 turbines, but not in operation == 2021 accident ==

On February 3, 2021, the entire city of Enerhodar, as well as several neighboring towns, lost power. This was caused by an accident at the Zaporizhzhia thermal power station, where, according to the officials, power output of the plant's units dropped to zero. According to Centrenergo, the plant's operator: In order to balance the system, power unit No. 10 of the Krivorozhskaya TPP was taken out of repair ahead of schedule. At the command of NEC Ukrenergo, power units No. 9 and 12 of Burshtynskaya TPP and No. 7 of Dobrotvorskaya TPP were synchronized to the grid and began supplying power. ==See also==
