Specialists started maintenance work on the power boiler on August 25. In addition to the general check of the boiler, they will have to replace some equipment with expired operation life. Due to the implementation of modern technologies the company will be able to burn gas more efficiently and increase the amount of saved fuel.

Currently, all maintenance on the rest of equipment is nearly finished. In the summer, the Company repaired the power unit and eliminated all defects found during the last heating season. AO MOSENERGO fixed the electric and technical equipment at the station and the internal heating grid. The Company has thoroughly checked controlling and measuring equipment, gas, electricity and heat counters.

AO MOSENERGO allocated around 20 million rubles for the maintenance campaign.

Every year, after the end of the heating period the main equipment of CHP-28 is stopped and taken out of operation. The reason is that in the summer heat consumption in the capital goes down sharply making some of the CHP's capacity redundant. The CHP resumes operation only with the start of the new season, when the system requires more generation.

As usual, the station will be put back into operation in late September, so that the station could start to operate at full capacity before the advent of cold weather.

CHP-28 is a unique power plant both for Moscow and Russia. It is a kind of a testing range where new equipment is introduced. Since the beginning of operation, AO MOSENERGO has tested new technologies, such as the system for optimal burning, controlling and counting of the atmospheric pollution, automated control systems and new heating pump units.
