TGС-1 to Build Hot Water Boiler House in St. Petersburg

TGC-1 PJSC will build a hot water boiler house at Power Plant No. 2 (PP-2) of the Centralnaya CHPP by 2027. The relevant order issued by the St. Petersburg Government was signed by the City Governor Alexander Beglov.

The commissioning of new facilities will increase the reliability of heat supply to over 200 thousand residents of the Central District of St. Petersburg and improve the environmental situation.

PP-2 as a source of heat supply has no alternative. The heat generated here is supplied to 1,740 buildings, including hospitals, maternity hospitals, educational institutions, and subway facilities. At the same time, the equipment commissioned in the first half of the 20th century is outmoded and physically obsolete.

Since it is impossible to modernize the old power plant buildings without turning off the heat supply, it was decided to build a new boiler house building. It will be located on the plant territory from the Novgorodskaya Street side.

The installed thermal capacity of the new equipment will be 730 Gcal/h.
