Background
The power station is the main supplier of heat for the city of Balakovo. District heating covers 92% of the residential area of the city (one of the highest rates in Russia). It is also a source of energy supply for the largest industrial enterprises in the city.[10]
The power station has eight steam turbines, however, current capacity (370 MW) is lower than the full capacity of the eight turbines.[10] It is unclear which are mothballed or retired. Units 1 and 2 are planned to retire in 2028.[11]
