Both Unit 1 and 2 are in operation at full rated power. All auxiliary systems of the power plant are in operation in accordance with the operational needs of the units.

July 18, 2007

After the completion of all planned tests after the Unit 2 outage and its stabilization at full rated power, the complex test of the modernized turbine set has been started yesterday at 18 o’clock. It is the objective of this test to verify the behavior of the modernized high pressure turbine by the 144 hours continuous run at 100 % RTP. After the successful completion of this test, the 24 months guarantee for the complete work will start to expire. Within 3 months after the completion of the 144 hours continuous run of the turbine set, the so-called guarantee measurement will be carried out. Hereby, the supplier will demonstrate the machine run at the minimum output 1020,6 MW. The guarantee measurement is planed for September 2007.
