The installed capacity of the mobile power plant is 28 MW.

Despite delays in the delivery of components, this task will be completed, and the plant is already operating in test mode and will be connected to the grid on 10-12 October 2023."
More details: Kotin also held a production meeting with the technicians involved in the installation and launch of the plant and with the personnel who will maintain the power plant.
