Vologda HPP 110 MW CCGT PP main equipment foundations construction has been launched

The main equipment foundations have been grouted, forming and foundations’ enforcing are in progress. The main building frame steel structures have been installed, foundation beams for the main building basements are built, panels’ assembly is in progress. A part of the process piping is removed from the site, third parties’ transit electric cables will also be put aside.

The Vologda HPP CCGT power unit will consist of a General Electric PG 6111FA 77 MW gas turbine, a Kaluga turbine plant 35 MW steam turbine and HRSG by Austrian Energy & Environment. Upon the CCGT power unit installation the HPP electric and heat power output will increase substantially what will permit to lower the Vologda region dependence on power supply from other areas, higher reliability of energy and heat delivery to the population, housing complex and plant facilities and arrange conditions for the Vologda infrastructure development.
