Background
Kryvorizka power station consisted of ten units of 300 MW each completed between 1963 and 1972. The plant is owned by DTEK Dniproenergo JSC, part of DTEK Energy.[2] In turn DTEK is owned by SCM (System Capital Management) Limited.[3]
The capacity of Unit 1 was increased to 315 MW in 2017.[4] In its 2020 annual report, DTEK did not list any plans for modernizing or retrofitting any of the units in operation at the power station.[5]
As of June 2021, the station was operating with 1,497 MW of capacity. Units 2 and 8, with a combined capacity of 582 MW, had been mothballed as of June 2021.[6] Units 6, 7, & 9 were previously retired in 2018.[6]
On February 21, 2022, ahead of the planned connection of Ukrainian energy system to the European system ENTSO-E, only one unit with 271 MW of capacity was operating out of seven.[7] This was presumably Unit 5. 4 units were referred to as mothballed (this means that 2 more were mothballed since June 2021).[7] The other two units didn't have sufficient fuel.
War in Ukraine
On April 27, 2022, Russian forces have attacked the power plant, causing significant damage to the station.[8] There was a lubricant leak and a massive fire; rescuers were attempting to stop the fire for several hours.[9] The station and the city were frequently under fire attacks, on April 20, 2022, Russian forces have fired on the city of Zelenodolsk, hit the communications and left the city without electricity and water.[8] It was unclear at that time whether the station is operating, only that it has sustained significant damage.
In September 2022, the Russian attackers fired at the bus with the plant’s workers, 14 people were injured.[10]
On 9 December 2022, the power station stated that that a repair of a unit was completed, but it takes some time to restore the city’s heat supply.[11] It therefore appeared that at the end of 2022, one unit was in operation, the rest were regarded as mothballed.
As of January 2024, there was no further information on the plant.
