Balti
Location: Ida-Varu
Operator: AS Narva Elektrijaamad
Configuration: 8 X 100 MW, 4 X 180 MW
Operation: 1960-1966
Fuel: oil shale
Boiler supplier: Taganrog, Foster Wheeler
T/G supplier: LMZ, Electrosila
Quick facts: Cosnstruction at Balti started in Mar 1956 and Unit-1 was commissioned on 30 Dec 1959. Balti was built out in two main stages. In the firsr stage, 18 boilers, eight 100-MW units and two 12 MW back-pressure sets were were installed. The second stage has four units, each with single boilers and 200-MW T/G sets. Unit-11 was repowered with two CFB boilers which went online in Aug 2004. The site is 5km from Narva.

Eesti
Location: Ida-Varu
Operator: AS Narva Elektrijaamad
Configuration: 7 X 200 MW, 1 X 210 MW
Operation: 1969-1973
Fuel: oil shale
Boiler supplier: Taganrog, Foster Wheeler
T/G supplier: LMZ, Electrosila
Quick facts: Eesti is 20km southwest of Narva and is the world’s largest oil shale-fired power plant. Site preparation began in Mar 1963 and the first unit was commissioned on 30 Jun 1969 with a new design boiler. From 1998–2001, the two boilers at Unit-8 were dismantled and in Oct 2001 work got underway on retrofitting a new CFB boiler from Foster Wheeler. Start-up began in Sep 2003.

Iru
Location: Harju
Operator: Eesti Energia
Configuration: 1 X 80 MW, 1 X 110 MW CHP
Operation: 1969-1973
Fuel: Natural gas, heavy oil
Boiler supplier: Taganrog
T/G supplier: LMZ, TMZ, Sibtjazmaz
Quick facts: This plant is the largest thermal energy producer in Estonia, supplying heat to approximately 50% of Tallinn. Iru has two generating units with oversize boilers plus three hot-water boilers and an auxiliary steam boiler. Total capacity is 190 MWe, 661.5 MWth hot water, and 162 MWth steam, all generated using natural gas and heavy fuel oil. The Iru-2 steam turbine was modified for back-pressure operation and both boilers were retrofit with low-Nox burners.
