Putin to make working trip to St Petersburg
MOSCOW, December 22 (Itar-Tass) - RF Head of Government Vladimir Putin
on Wednesday makes a working trip to St Petersburg where he will
participate in a number of arrangements.
The Premier will hold a teleconference link-up with the
Sayany-Shushenskoye hydropower station where a ceremony will take place to
mark a resumption of the operation of Hydropower Unit 3, restored after
the Aug 17, 2009, breakdown at the station.
This is already a fourth hydropower unit (HPU) restored at the
station. Hydropower Units 6, 5, and 4, were re-energized earlier this year
(in February, March, and August, respectively). The re-start of HPU 3 adds
another 640 megawatts of the HPS operating power to bring it up to 2,560
megawatts.
HPU 3 seriously differs from the three earlier restored HPUs. It is
fitted out with an up-to-date automated control system, which is an
advanced elaboration by the Silovyye Mashiny (power machines) Company, the
leading Russian producer of power equipment.
The re-start ceremony is timed to coincide with the Day of the Power
Engineer, marked on December 22.
The restoration of the generation of electric power at the HPS raises
the reliability of Siberia's power supply, and creates additional reserves
in the power grid to meet peak power consumption needs in the autumn and
winter period of 2010-2011. This also enables the HPS to let water pass
through in a standard mode without the use of no-load discharge of water.
This reduces risks for its hydraulic engineering facilities.
Next phase of the restoration of the HPS will begin in 2011: six new
HPUs with a higher efficiency and longer service life will be installed at
the station. The four HPUs, restored in 2010, will be subsequently
dismantled as well and replaced by new ones.
While in St Petersburg, Putin will also hold talks with Armenian Prime
Minister Tigran Sarkisyan, who is currently in Russia on a working visit.
It is planned that they will discuss a wide range of matters concerning
Russo-Armenian trade-and-economic cooperation, and a number of other
subjects of current importance that are on the bilateral and international
agendas.
Russia confidently holds the positions of Armenia's main foreign
economic partner: chief partner in bilateral trade and a key investor in
the Armenian economy. A number of leading Russian corporations effectively
operate on the Armenian market. Moscow and Yerevan also closely interact
in integrational formats in the post-Soviet space of the Commonwealth of
Independent States.
The Russian Prime Minister will also tour a physical culture and
health-building center Moskovsky -- one of four such centers built by
Gazprom in St Petersburg in implementation of the Gazprom-to-Children
programme.
