Minsk-5
Location: Minsk
Operator: Minskenergo
Configuration: 1 X 330 MW CHP
Operation: 1999
Fuel: natural gas, fuel oil
Boiler supplier: ??
T/G supplier: LMZ
Quick facts: This plant is 40km from Minsk and was the first large-scale thermal plant built in the CIS countries after the collapse of the USSR. Minsk-5 No 1 went commercial on 4 Aug 1999. The site was originally selected for a nuclear power station and work was underway on two 1,000-MW reactors when the Chernobyl accident stopped the project. The project was then converted to a 1,800-MW thermal CHP plant. This was then shelved and instead a single 330-MW set installed. This was the launch LMZ turbine of its type. The unit also had one of the first fully digital I&C systems on new-build in the CIS. A 450-MW CCGT block is in development at Minsk-5.
