DUSHANBE, December 25, 2009, Asia-Plus — Specialists from Ukrainian state-owned industrial plant Elektrotyazhmash have completed assessment of equipment that had been delivered to the site for construction of the Roghun hydroelectric power plant (HPP) in the early 1990s already, the source at open join-stock company NBO (Nirugohi Barqi Obi meaning hydroelectric power plant) Roghun told Asia-Plus on Friday.
According to him, during two weeks, the Elektrotyazhmash experts made a full inventory of the equipment that had been produced by the Ukrainian plant and have been stored in warehouses for many years. The findings of the inventory have shown that some equipment became obsolete and it was decided that Elektrotyazhmash would manufacture missing equipment.
“We have also agreed that Elektrotyazhmash will design and manufacture generators for Roghun HPP,” the source, adding that the Elektrotyazhmash representatives will arrive in Tajikistan for working visit in January 2010.
In the meantime, some Ukrainian media report that the Elektrotyazhmash director Vitaly Cherednik said that the plant experts and specialists from Barqi Tojik (Tajik electric systems) power holding began preparations for launching a joint venture in Tajikistan for manufacturing generators for small and medium-sized hydropower plants. “They have signed a new protocol determining the procedure of our common actions and we are currently choosing equipment for manufacturing generators for small and medium-sized hydropower stations, which will be installed at the repair-and-engineering plant in Tajikistan,” Cherednik said.
The Kharkov-based state-owned industrial giants,
Elektrotyazhmash
and Turboatom, occupy 17% of the heavy power equipment construction (e.g., turbines) market worldwide.
