The facility houses one of the tallest chimneys in the world, topping out at 320 m (1,050 ft) in height and made from concrete. A second concrete chimney is only slightly lower, and two more chimneys 180 m (591 ft) in height are made from steel. Power is generated by four units of 300 MW, two units of 800 MW.[2][3][4]
History
editConstruction began in 1968 with the first unit going online in 1973.[citation needed]
The seventh unit (420 MW) was formerly known as GRES-24. It is situated nearby to the Ryazan GRES and joined into it in 2008. GRES-24 initially was built as first in the world power plant with magnetohydrodynamic generator, but in 1989 this project was cancelled and the plant was finished using traditional construction.[citation needed]
On 28 August 2024 the plant was reported to be on fire.[5]
