UrBC, Yekaterinburg, October 13, 2015. The powers station at Ural Vagon Zavod Corporation’s head plant turns eighty this year, so the company intends to celebrate in a number of solemn ceremonies, the plant’s press service reports.

In fact, the entire year 2016 will be dedicated to the eighty years since the plant’s launch.

Ural Vagon Zavod’s power station is a strategically important facility which supplies electric power not only to the production site but also to Nizhniy Tagil’s Dzerzhinsky District, a home to more than 120,000 people.

The station keeps launching advanced technologies and ensures stable and unfailing performance of the power equipment as well as stable hot and cold water and steam supply. Timely replacement of worn-out turbine power generating units and boilers means the company saves a lot of money on producing more of its own power rather than buying it elsewhere.

The power facilities are scheduled for major upgrades and overhauls in the near future. A single power center will be set up to control the plant’s power spending. A new power generating unit will be constructed. Putting up a new unit on the station’s premises is more rational than trying to improve the old pieces of equipment. The new power generator will meet all the modern standards, and the older units will be kept as back-up ones. In case of an emergency they can be re-commissioned very quickly.
