Quick facts: The decision to build this plant was made in 1952. The initial configuration was 3 X 100 MW, then 4 X 150 MW, and then 3 X 200 MW. Finally, the designers settled on building six 300-MW sets using supercritical technology, only the second such power station in the Soviet Union. Construction got underway in Mar 1956 and commissioning of Unit-1 began in Dec 1964. This took just over 6 months as final design and construction issues were resolved and Unit-1 went commercial on 30 Jun 1965.
