Background
The power station is the main supplier of heat for the city of Balakovo. District heating covers 92% of the residential area of the city (one of the highest rates in Russia). It is also a source of energy supply for the largest industrial enterprises in the city.[13]
The power station has eight steam turbines with the total installed installed capacity of 370 MW.[13] Units 1 and 2 are planned to retire in 2028.[14][15] The retirement of the units was included into the "General Layout of Power Infrastructure Placement until 2042", released by the Russian Ministry of Energy in December 2024.[16]
