Public Joint Stock Company «Donbassenergo» is the comprehensive economic complex that links together energy companies - producers of heat and electricity. The company incorporates two thermal power plants - Starobeshivska TPP and Slovianska TPP with installed capacity 2,880 MW and is being managed by the NJSC «Energy Company of Ukraine». PJSC «Donbassenergo» annually produces some 7 billion kWh of electricity. In parallel to electricity and heat production, the energy company is engaged in repair and setting-up of heat mechanical and electrical equipment, spare parts manufacture and design works. PJSC «Donbassenergo» generating capacities development strategy till 2030 specifies that by that time the company's installed capacity will reach 3,635 MW, with electricity production fully complying with the environmental requirements approved by the decree No. 541 of the Ministry of Environmental Protection of Ukraine dated 22 October 2008. In order to improve the economic effectiveness and to reduce the air pollutant emissions at Starobeshivska TPP, the environment-friendly power unit No. 4 with capacity 215 MW was commissioned and it is planned to retrofit nine power units with installation of desulphurisation electric precipitators, modernisation of the turbines K-200-130 and the boiler units TP-100. In order to increase the generating capacities at Slovianska TPP, it is planned to reconstruct two-shaft power unit No. 6 of 800 MW by installing two 330 MW supercritical pressure power units with over 40% efficiency, as well as the installation of the flue gas cleaning equipment for decreasing of air pollutant emissions to comply with European norms. In parallel to running capital repairs, the company will implement phased modernisation of the power unit 7. This will enable to extend the service life of the equipment facilitating the commissioning of substitution capacities. The project to install the first 330 MW power unit is scheduled to start in 2015 and will run till 2018. In 2012 the company plans to start modernisation of the power unit 7 which would include the upgrading of the existing electric precipitator with built-in flue gas desulphurisation plant. The above projects will ensure: - higher efficiency of the power units; - lower consumption of equivalent fuel per distributed electricity volume; - compliance of the equipment with environmental norms on atmospheric pollution levels.
