Troitskaya GRES

Troitskaya GRES is located in Troitsk-5 of the Chelyabinsk Region, the area of electricity flows of Yekaterinburg – Chelyabinsk – Magnitogorsk, as well as on the route of direct supplies to North Kazakhstan (Ural UPS).

Due to a low fuel component, the plant is in high demand on the wholesale electricity market, and such demand will continue in the future, considering the high growth rates of gas and coal prices.

The primary fuel for the power plant is KSN-0300 grade Ekibaztuzky coal from Ekibaztuzky and Bogatyr strip mines. There is no reserve fuel; the starting fuel is fuel oil.

The plant’s main competitor is Uzhno-Uralskaya GRES (JSC “INTER RAO – Electric Power Plants”). Troitskaya GRES also competes with high-capacity heat power stations located in the European part of Russia and the Urals region.

The plant has seasonal nature of power limitation
