In accordance with the plan repairs at the 310 MWt power unit began in mid-June. In this period they checked the turbine generator for defects, as well as checked and repaired the main mechanisms at the power unit. By early July, the equipment passed a complex test and was put into operation five days ahead of schedule. In addition to repairs to the main equipment, the company also renovated buildings at the power station, including the repair of the roof of the boiler facility.

In parallel, this branch of AO Mosenergo is also preparing for upcoming reconstruction of the 310 MWt power unit including the addition of the GTE-11 to the power block, and the launch of T3FG-110-2U3 generator and block transformer TDTs-160000/500. As a result, the station capacity will grow to 420MWt. It will also decrease the fuel consumption in the process of power generation. The reconstruction of the block will be completed in 2004. According to Mikhail Kataev, Director of GRES-24, on July 11 the company will approve the business plan then the implementation of the project will begin.

NPO Saturn is likely to receive the order to design and manufacture the turbine.
