Power generation

Power generating facilities are operating normally. The coal and fuel oil stocks are sufficient for the uninterrupted operation of the plants. The volume of electricity generated is sufficient to fully meet the needs of consumers and industry.

Two TPP units are under short-term maintenance for technological reasons.
