Energoatom ordered a condenser from Turboatom worth 0.5 billion hryvnia for Zaporizhzhya NPP
At the head office of SE NNEGC "Energoatom", Director General of JSC "Turboatom" Viktor Subbotin and Director of OP "Atomkomplekt" SE NAEK "Energoatom" corrosion-resistant material of the K-1000-60 /1500-2 turbine for power unit No. 1 of the Zaporozhye NPP.
The amount of the agreement signed with NNEGC Energoatom amounted to 525.8 million hryvnia. Equipment delivery time: April - May 2022.
Acting President of NNEGC Energoatom Petr Kotin noted: “This is a very important event for the Company. Energoatom has been confidently implementing the equipment modernization program for 15 power units of four Ukrainian NPPs since August 2019 and designed for five years. New capacitors are already in operation at three ZNPP units (No. 2, 3, 4). The production of a condenser for power unit No. 5 is nearing completion. Such works are planned for 2023 at power unit No. 6 of ZNPP.
General Director of JSC "Turboatom" Viktor Subbotin emphasized that this is an important contract for turbine builders, because it means an order in the amount of 0.5 billion hryvnia and the workload of the enterprise for more than a year. “I am very grateful to Energoatom for their trust,” added Victor Subbotin.
Director of OP Atomkomplekt Oleg Doroshenko noted: “It is difficult to overestimate the significance of this agreement. The work on replacing capacitors has both an economic effect in the form of additional electricity generation and a technical one - an increase in the reliability of operation of power units. ”
For the Zaporizhzhya NPP, which consists of 6 power units with a capacity of 1,000 MW, this will be the fifth new condenser out of six installed at the plant, which will replace Turboatom. Now the capacitors are successfully operating at power units 2, 3 and 4. For unit 5, Turboatom is completing the manufacture of a condenser and in May - June 2021 the equipment will be fully shipped to the station.
