Unit name Status Fuel(s) Capacity (MW) Technology CHP Start year Retired year
Unit 6 operating[1] fossil gas - natural gas, industrial by-product - blast furnace gas, industrial by-product - coke oven gas[1][2][3] 50[3] steam turbine[3] 1970[3]
Unit 7 operating[1] fossil gas - natural gas, industrial by-product - blast furnace gas, industrial by-product - coke oven gas[1][2][3] 60[3] steam turbine[3] 1961[3]

CHP is an abbreviation for Combined Heat and Power. It is a technology that produces electricity and thermal energy at high efficiencies. Coal units track this information in the Captive Use section when known.

Background

The power station is the main producer of electricity and the sole supplier of steam for the technological needs of the plant. The power station was built in 1943 to supply the Chelyabinsk metallurgical plant with electricity.[4]

At present, as before, the main task of the Thermal Power Plant is the supply of all energy resources to the production facilities of the Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Plant.[4]
