Smolenskaya GRES
“We celebrated the year 2018 with a significant event — the anniversary of Smolenskaya GRES. First of all, I would like to congratulate everyone who has been involved in the construction of the plant and its operation — the veterans and employees of Smolenskaya GRES.
Over the forty years of operation, the plant has come a long way: from the start of construction of the first power unit to the commissioning of the third, from burning low-ash peat to testing 14 types of solid fuel and final transition to natural gas.
Smolenskaya GRES constantly underwent reconstruction and modernisation of equipment. Only due to professionalism, long-term experience and commitment to excellence, we have achieved forty years of trouble-free work and continue to supply electricity and heat to consumers.”

Smolenskaya GRES, One of the Largest Power Plants in the Region, Celebrated its 40th Anniversary in 2018
The power plant is located in Ozerny Settlement of the Duhovschinsky District, the Smolensk Region. Three power units, 210 MW each, are installed at the plant, and the main type of fuel used is natural gas.
The branch supplies electric power to the wholesale market and the heat to the consumers in Ozerny Settlement. Smolenskaya GRES is in demand in the energy market due to its participation in provision of export transfer of electric power to Belarus.
In 2011, works associated with reconstruction and commissioning of Section 1 of the ash disposal area were completed, which allowed for increase of the volume of stored waste and, consequently, allowed for the plant operation (subject to significant share of coal in the fuel mix thereof) for over 10 year and reduced the impact of the ash disposal area on the environment.
