Branches | Unipro PJSC Annual Report for 2020

«We note that the key achievements of 2020 at Berezovskaya GRES are the timely completion of intermediate maintenance at power unit No. 1 with the replacement of the fourth part of the low-pressure convection superheater. In combination with the commissioning of the acoustic cleaning system of the convective shaft, this will allow the boiler unit of power unit No. 1 to operate more efficiently. By the replacement of one thousand two hundred combined welds of the platen superheater and the implementation of a system for draining fuel oil leaks at the operating power units, we increased the reliability and the safety of all our equipment as well. It was extremely important to prepare for putting into operation of power unit No. 3, to introduce Smart Helmets, an interesting digital project, to develop a modernization design for sewage treatment facilities in the town of Sharypovo. Completing these intricate production tasks in the context of COVID-19 constraints is a great achievement. And we can only thank our employees».

We have carried out all preparatory work for implementing the first stage of the modernization programme which will start at power unit No. 1 in 2021.

I would like to particularly note that there was no serious occupational health incidents. In no case should we be satisfied with what has already been achieved, but it is important to continue to fulfil our employment duties responsibly.

The work to reduce environmental risks continued at the plant. We developed the slime dumps reclamation project that was appraised by experts and constructed fish protection structures. The steps taken to improve our environmental efficiency will enable us to reduce the content of harmful substances in air emissions.

I would like to note as well that in the course of our production activities we prevented the occurrence of hotspots of the spread of COVID-19 as a whole.

Thanks to all this, we confidently begin the next year without setting less stringent requirements for ourselves and for our professional activities».

«In 2020, we celebrated an outstanding event, the 100th anniversary of the power plant. For the entire century Shaturskaya GRES has been supplying electric power to most of Eastern vicinities of Moscow, certain districts of Moscow itself and the town of Shatura. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, we had to cancel all public events for an indefinite period. Nevertheless, by the 100th anniversary of the plant, we opened a new showpiece in the outdoor museum. This is the blade wheel for steam turbine. We published a book dedicated to Shatura pioneer builders. The book has already been transferred to all libraries and schools of Shatura urban district and has taken an honourable place in the power plant history museum.

The history of Shaturskaya GRES is an integral part the history of Moscow region and the whole country. This is confirmed by the important government awards for the valorous labour of the Shaturskaya GRES team at the important milestones in the history of our state, i.e. the Order of Lenin and the Order of the Red Banner of Labour.

Last year, we secured the key production and financial indicators, successfully completed the previous heating season, celebrated the 10th anniversary from putting into operation of CCGT-400».

«In the reporting year, despite the difficult economic situation in the country due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Yaivinskaya GRES secured its key production indicators.

In 2020, the electric power generation at Yaivinskaya GRES increased by 3% as compared to 2019 against the background of a general decrease in the electric power generation in the Perm Territory by 14.5%.

We completed the repairs of the generating equipment and the heating networks of Yaiva settlement in a timely manner and in full and supplied the settlement with heat without interruptions.

The branch significantly reduced its accident rate as compared to the previous years.

Fish protection structures at the water intake of Yaivinskaya GRES were constructed and put into trial operation in order to reduce damage to young fish in the Yaiva River. Their completion should be considered one of the important efforts within the Company’s environmental policy.
