There are two power plants located in the TPPs of Crimea – Tavriyskaya and Balaklavskaya in Simferopol and Sevastopol, respectively. Two people familiar with this publication were familiar with the leaders of Technopromeksport – the girls and the construction contractor from Rostech.

These two plants consist of two blocks of 235 MW each (the total capacity of two plants is 940 MW). the first blocks of the two stations were to be launched on September 1, 2018, the second – October 1 and November 1. However, the first blocks were launched with a delay in the month (October 1st) and while they are working in start mode. The plants supply the network almost continuously with power for a volume of nearly 500 MW. The power units were loaded when the opportunity arose and sometimes they did not feed the network, explains the interlocutor, close to one of the profile departments.

There are several reasons for the transfer of power, one of which is Rostekhnadzora's claims to the construction of the first RBC units and this was confirmed by the representative of "Technopromexport". Rostechnadzor found a violation in the construction of "buildings and auxiliary structures included in the first launch complex", but the construction and installation work is not yet complete.

"Krymenergo" has not yet built a power system allowing connection to the electrical system of other units, explained one of the following sources. RBC contacts. The main problem concerns the Simferopol TPP networks. The auction for the modernization of the seven substations connecting these units "Krymenergo" announced only in May 2018,

The structure of "Rosteha" was also purchased by the German gas turbines Siemens (the large-capacity Russian turbines are not yet produced – hoping that the sanctions against the Crimea will be canceled.The offer was delayed, "Rostech" tried to change supplier but failed and finally mounted the Siemens turbine in Crimea which caused an international scandal and a new wave of sanctions against Russia.

Recall that Crimea, which has virtually no own generation, provides electricity to the 800 MW Krasnodar territory, launched in 2016, and 18 mobile gas turbine units (MGTSES). 405 MW.

Russia wants to operate power stations.
