On the efficiency of constructing thermal power plant-2 in Ulan-Ude

The article analyzes the state of heat and power supply in Ulan-Ude. We have calculated production balance and consumption of thermal energy, actual and long-term balance plan of burning capacity and heat-flux density in TPP-1 and TPP-2; presented the data on the actual cost of production and transmission of thermal energy in Ulan-Ude for 2017. The article presents the calculations of economic losses and identifies the reasons for the increased rates to consumers caused by the lag in construction of U-U TPP-2. We have considered the environmental state of Ulan-Ude by the level of air pollution. It has been revealed that for ten years the city has been included in the list of settlements with air alert level. Heat-only boiler stations, TTP-1, TTP-2 and furnace devices of private house buildings are the main sources of pollution. It is shown that the commissioning of U-U TTP-2 will significantly reduce pollution. A decision of the Russian Federation Government and inclusion of the project in the National Program of the Far East Development until 2025 and for the long term until 2035 are the measures necessary to complete the construction of Ulan-Ude TPP-2.
