Backgroound
The Sredneuralsk power station is a federal-level power plant located in the city of Sredneuralsk, on the shores of Lake Isetskoye. This GRES supplies electricity and heat to Yekaterinburg and its surrounding satellite cities, playing a crucial role in the region's energy infrastructure.
Modernization (Unit 7R)
As part of the modernization program for the generating equipment a steam turbine of Unit 7 was replaced. This upgrade significantly improved the technical and economic performance and operational reliability of the unit, originally commissioned in 1966. Additionally, the power output scheme for TG-7 was modified, connecting the turbogenerator to the 110 kV busbars. The reconstruction work began in April 24. The new Unit 7R was commissioned in July 2024.[14] As a result of the modernization, the unit's capacity increased from 100 MW to 120 MW.[15]
Modernization (Unit 6R)
The modernization of Unit 6 was launched in 2024 and is expected to be completed in 2025.[16] The unit's capacity will increase by 20 MW.[15]
Modernization (Unit 9R)
In February 2025, it was reported that modernization of Unit 9 at Sredneuralskaya GRES had been included in the 2028 into the Competitive Capacity Modernization Selection (KOMMod) program for the technical upgrade of thermal power plants. The project involves a comprehensive replacement of the steam turbine, increasing its capacity from 310 MW to 330 MW, along with upgrades to the boiler heating surfaces. The plan also includes replacing pipelines between the boiler and turbine, the generator, and the automated control system (ACS).[17]
