CHP IN SOVETSKAYA GAVAN:
POWER PLANT OF BRIGHT HOPE
New Energy
of the Far East
150 meters long chimney has
been built for three months. It is
possible to see it from all corners
of the city. Hundreds of power
transmission towers were built
in Sovetskaya Gavan District
and Vaninsky District. 55 meters
long main building is erecting.
All those facilities will provide
reliable power supply, year-round
hot water, business development
and construction of houses in the
future.
A new power plant is growing in the port city on the coast of the Tatar
Strait. New CHP is being built at the very heart of Sovetskaya Gavan.
After commissioning phase, the city will reach a new level of development.
Ports, terminals and railway, which will have more load by reason
of new plants presence, wait for energy.
What Do We
Have?
Power engineering facilities
construction is in its most active
phase on the mainland shore
of the Tatar Strait. Construction
activities take place in all areas.
The erection of three boilers and
construction of main building are
carried out on the main building
area. The foundations for the two
34
turbine sets are also built in the
main building. Both turbine sets
have already been delivered.
A huge number of foundations were
situated on the place of the future
outdoor switchgear 110 kV. The
outdoor switchgear will connect
the power plant generators to the
electrical grid and provide high-
quality and reliable power supply
for consumers. The complex of
equipment for unloading coal
and feeding coal to boilers is
constructed. In case of full CHP
loading, it will be necessary to
have 90 tons of solid fuel per hour
or about 40 carloads of coal per
twenty-four hours.
In order to deliver such quan-
tity of coal from the Baikal-Amur
Mainline to CHP, power engineers
have built a railway line with a to-
tal length of 13.8 km. 334 power
transmission towers for transmis-
sion of electric energy from the
CHP have already been erected.
One part of such power transmis-
sion towers was built in November
last year. Currently it is supplying
the building area. In the future it
will provide the customers with
electric energy. Construction of the
second part of those power trans-
mission towers, which includes
a 37 kilo meters long power trans-
mission line for the neighboring
village of Vanino and a 14.2 kilo-
meters long one for a new electric
substation “Okocha”, is nearing to
completion. All power transmis-
sion towers will be ready for elec-
tric energy transmission next year.
Vacant Positions
for Employees
The building area and others
CHP facilities offer job oppor-
tunities to more than 700 workers.
Nevertheless, the number of
people is still not enough for the
con struc tion. Builders of power
engineering facilities constantly
recruit new staff. However, it is
not so easy as it was expected to
fi
nd people for work under rough
conditions of remote areas, which
can be equal to those of the Far
North.
Despite the harsh climate and
dif
fi
cult working conditions, power
engineers strive to make the
surrounding better. For instance,
the employees of the customer
and developer of JSC «CHP
in Sovetskaya Gavan» station
actively participate in the social
life of the city like fund-raising to
assist children from poor families,
supporting projects for the
development of recreational areas
and helping a local animal shelter.
Undoubtedly, such initiatives
together with the construction of
large power facility will give a great
impulse to the development
of social life in Sovetskaya
Gavan.
Hundreds power transmission towers
were erected in Sovetsko-Gavansky
and Vaninsky regions
CHP facilities provide
more than 700 vacancies

The builders do not forget
about professional staff for the fu-
ture CHP. For example, JSC “CHP
in Sovetskaya Gavan” helped
a technical school of Sovetskaya
Gavan to obtain a license in order
to train thermal engineers for the
CHP. It is assumed that the new
CHP will become the main suppli-
er of the vacant positions. The
fi
rst
student recruitment has already
started, and three company em-
ployees have entered to magistral
staff of the technical school.
What Shall We
Have?
The most important part of the
work will be in the future. It will be
necessary to complete the erec-
tion and make a success ful com-
missioning of boilers and turbines.
The plan of com
mis sioning and
overall tests of the main power
plant equipment has been pre-
pared and approved. It is also
necessary to perform the con-
struction of scheme of heat ca-
pacity distribution from the CHP to
consumers. The tendering results
of the general contractor selection
have already been announced.
The work will begin very soon.
The new CHP is uninterrupted
and cost-effective energy supply
CHP IN SOVETSKAYA GAVAN
•
Objectives:
•
satisfying the growing demand for electricity and heat
energy in Sovgavansky District,
•
assurance a reliable power supply for local consumers and
facilities of seaports
•
Electrical capacity:
120 MW
•
Heat capacity:
200 Gcal/h
•
Fuel:
coal from Urgalsk
•
Р
opulation of the
Khabarovsk Territory:
1.3 million people
•
Population of
Sovetskaya Gavan city:
25 thousand people
and all-year hot water supply
for the city. Moreover, new CHP
gives a possibility to disuse the
ecologically unclean oil-
fi
red
boi lers, which are about ten in
number in the city. Particularly,
the new power facility is im-
portant for developing port area
and special economic
zone “Sovetskaya Gavan”. Gene-
rating capacities of Sov
gavan-
skaya CHP will give a part of
energy in order to implement
capital investment projects for
the development of the Vanino-
Sovetsko-Gavansky transport and
industrial hub.
“Now we are creating energy
infrastructure, which is strategi-
cally important for the economic
development of Sovetskaya Ga-
van, and also we are working on
the future economic development
of the Far East. Obviously, the
city will become more convenient
for life, as a result”, JSC “CHP in
Sovet skaya Gavan” General Di-
rector Ivan Provodin stated. It is
hard to argue with such a state-
ment. Evidently, the construction
of a new CHP gives a right for
the people to hope that the life
in the taiga city by the sea will
improve.
