Berezovskaya state district power plant is one of the eight coal-fired power plants (6400 MW each) which had to be built under the Soviet project. Like many others this project has not been fully fulfilled: only two out of the eight power units have been completed. Now they are building the third one. It does not look as huge as it was planned to be but still it’s impressive.
The power plant is situated in the Krasnoyarsk region and represents a city forming enterprise. Its population is about 40 thousand people (against 250 thousand which were expected).
7000 meters above the power plant.
Today it’s the most powerful power plant of the Krasnoyarsk region. The summarized capacity of the two power units is 1600 MW. The plant generates 6% of all electric power of the united energy system of Siberia. Its share in the power balance of the region amounts to 18-20%.
The plant has a unique fuel supply circuit. Brown coal comes directly to the plant from the coal field along the two 15 km open conveyors. The project output of the opencast coal mine amounts to 55 million of tons of coal a year, hourly 4400 tons of coal is supplied to the power plant.
There are many large vehicles working here including this rotor excavator.
