OREANDA-NEWS. An official ceremony was held to commission the fourth power unit at the Khabarovskaya CHPP-3 in Khabarovsk.

The new power unit of the Khabarovskaya CHPP-3 has a capacity of 180 MW of electricity and 260 Gcal/h of heat. The plant's total installed capacity has now reached 720 MW, which makes it the largest cogeneration plant in Russia's Far East.

The project to construct the power unit was started in 1996, but was suspended in 1998 due to the lack of financing. The project was resumed in 2003. The project was financed from own resources of OAO "Khabarovskenergo" and borrowed capital, with the total amount of finance exceeding RUB1.7 billion.
