History

It began operation on December 26, 1956.[1]

Initially the station used coal, but towards the end of the 20th century TGC-1 began converting to gas. In connection with development of a gas powered station, physical deterioration and equipment obsolescence, reconstruction began in 2000 at the station.[1]

  • In 2000 the turbine unit number 3 was replaced.[2]
  • On December 28, 2007 the new turbine unit number 2, with an electric capacity of 30 MW, and thermal capacity of 75 GCal/h, began operation. Also the transformers and generator were replaced.[1][2]

On August 23, 2009 there was a fire in the repaired unit.[3]

gollark: The bee eugenics machine takes a batch of 12 bees, scans them, picks the best ones according to our fitness function, sends the bad ones into the singularity compressor, and sends the good ones into the apiaries.
gollark: Bee genome scanning machinery.
gollark: It's quite slow.
gollark: Oh, we're doing bee eugenics.
