OREANDA-NEWS. On the eve of Power Engineer's Day, the company "Quadra - Power Generation" has opened a new modern block modular boiler house with capacity of 22 MW in the town of Lebedyan, Lipetsk region. The event was attended by Ruslan Gubaidullin, Deputy Head of the Lipetsk Region Administration; Vladimir Chunikhin, Head of Energy Sector and Tariffs Administration of the Lipetsk Region; Vladimir Shelkov, General Director of JSC "Quadra - Power Generation"; Alexey Kurilo, director of the branch of JSC "Quadra - Power Generation" - "Eastern Generation"; Alexey Khripchenko, head of the Lebedyan town administration; Mikhail Mitsuk, head of the Lebedyan District administration, as well as representatives of the contracting entity LLC "Teplosfera."

Construction of the boiler house is carried out in the framework of the investment program of JSC "Quadra - Power Generation" related with technical re-equipment and reconstruction of generating capacities and heat distribution facilities. The power company assigned nearby RUR 60 million for the construction of the boiler house. The new boiler house will provide heat and hot water to the residential houses, office buildings and other objects of social, cultural and community purpose in the left-bank part of the town.

During the official opening ceremony of the boiler house, Ruslan Gubaidullin noted that the boiler house is one of the most modern in the Central Federal District. Such power facilities allow to introduce new technologies in the field of the regional heating, which in their turn has a positive effect on the reliability and quality of heat supply of the region residents.

Construction of the boiler house started in the summer of 2014. Main equipment was installed at the power plant, 3 hot water boilers were mounted. Besides, the boiler house is equipped with a modern automated control system. Communication with the operator's desk will be carried out in real time mode with the display of the main current parameters of the equipment operation and alarm signals on the operator's desk with the ability to visualize the current settings of the technical process, collection and storage of data and setting of the current parameters.

In 2015, the second stage of the construction will be implemented, during which equipment will be installed, which will provide an independent power supply for the boiler house.

"I'd like to note that on the eve of Power Engineer's Day, we have a lot to be proud of. In a fairly short period of time, for 5 months, we built a modern boiler house. This is the second power facility already of such a kind. Two years ago, we launched a new boiler house in the town of Gryazi, Lipetsk region. General Director of JSC "Quadra - Power Generation" Vladimir Shelkov expressed special thanks to all of the staff of the Eastern branch of JSC "Quadra - Power Generation", contractors, as well as regional authorities."

"Today, the boiler house can provide heat and hot water to more than 8,500 residents living in the left bank of the town. Modern equipment installed at the boiler house, allow to carry the load in the period of low temperatures," the director of the Eastern branch of JSC "Quadra - Power Generation" Alex Kurilo said.

Implementation of this project is a continuation of the implementation of the municipal program aimed to optimize the central heating of the Lebedyn town. Under this program, in 2013 the administration of the town put into operation two boiler houses for consumers, primarily connected to the departmental boilers of the enterprises of JSC "Stroymash" and JSC "Assol" with a total capacity of 27 MW. Since January 2014, these boilers were leased to LLC "Lipetsk HGC" (100% subsidiary of JSC "Quadra - Power Generation"). Currently in Lebedyn, the company "Quadra - Power Generation" settles payments for heat and hot water under 5,600 personal accounts.
