The overhaul of the Kruonis HP hydroelectric plant has been completed

According to the report of Lietuvos Energija, such repairs were made for the first time during the entire history of the plant

The work done will not only help to prevent major failures of the apparatus but also to last more than 15 years.

"We began to prepare for this work, when, after several years, we had identified the increased vibration of the roller (…), after having judiciously evaluated the state of the power plant that produced electricity from 1992, we decided to start the redesign, "says Darius Kucinas, director of production of Lithuanian energy production, quoted in the report

. which is longer than the work itself. It has not been possible to produce electricity at a 225 megawatt (MW) power plant for a period of six months – starting in early February. However, the preparation of technical specifications, procurement procedures, the preparation of existing equipment for repairs and the production of new parts were carried out nearly two years before the repair

contractor Elektrėnų energetikos remontas were badisted by the factories. Many parts of the device are manufactured.

This year, two of the four Kruonis HPP units provide a secondary emergency reserve service to the Transmission System Operator (400 MW capacity). For the remaining two units, LEG generates electricity based on market demand – bids are available on the stock market. The maximum total power of the 4 units of Kruonis HPP rises to 900 MW
