Deputy Minister of Construction and Housing and Communal Services Aleksey Eresko considers that the main task for Ulan-Ude is to prevent the recurrence of accidents such as at CHPP-1. In his opinion, it is necessary to analyze in detail the heat supply schemes of the city.
“In fact, the main task … what measures need to be developed in order not to repeat this situation in the future. We discussed this issue very closely today at various meetings and came to the conclusion that it is necessary to analyze in great detail the heat supply schemes of the city. This is probably even more already the energy and heat-and-power security of the city, “Mr. Eresko told reporters during his visit to Ulan-Ude (quote from” Prime “).
The Deputy Minister noted that it is important to restore the operability of all equipment and networks, which were under the threat of damage. According to him, the restoration of the CHPP-1 operability “will require a sufficient amount of time.”
CHPP-1 serves as one of the main sources of heat and light for the residents of Ulan-Ude. It provides heat energy to the Zheleznodorozhny, Sovetsky districts and part of the Oktyabrsky district of the city.
The regional authorities believe that it is necessary to modernize CHPP-1 to create a reserve of capacity, taking into account the development of housing construction. “The second is the solution of issues related to CHPP-2, which is not being resolved in our country. We have been promoting it for a long time … Today we have discussed the possible scenarios for the development of the event again, ”said the head of Buryatia, Aleksey Tsydenov.
The accident occurred at the TPP-1 in Ulan-Ude on December 23 due to a fire in the electrical wiring. Because of this, Buryatia introduced a regional emergency regime. It has now been downgraded to the municipal level. Heating parameters have been reduced in almost 800 apartment buildings. The ICR opened a criminal case under the article “violation of the requirements for ensuring the safety of fuel and energy complex facilities”. The prosecutor’s office organized a check on the fact of the accident.
