«СЕТ-2» is such a «stove» in Kishinau, which bears main load of provision of city with thermal energy and hot water and contributes heavily to electric power supply for national economy of the republic.Founded in 1976, and 1997 transformed in into a joint-stock company, «СЕТ- 2» presents by itself the modern thermoelectric station consisting of three energetic blocks with 240 MW and 1.200 Gcal of overall capacity. Station is able to operate with fuel of two kinds - boiler oil and natural gas. About 600 employees of «СЕТ-2» (28.5% with higher education and 15.7% with specialized secondary education) ensure round-the-clock production of heat and electric energy.Energetic boilers are connected by gas passages with chimney being 180 meters in height. Technical necessities, increased attention to the environmental protection, as well as care for people health sets a task for the enterpriseâs staff to complete construction of the second chimney with the height up to 215 meters.For the period of station existence, approximately 23 billions kWh of electric power and 46 mln. Gcal of thermal energy were released to consumers of the republic. Existed infrastructure makes it possible to extend capacities of the station. Head designing institute «Lvovteploelectroproiect» has developed feasibility report on maximal expansion of the «CET-2». It was based on the «Concept of development of the energetic system of the Republic of Moldova for the period up to the year of 2010». Main idea of the «CET-2» expansion is to ensure energetic security of the republic. For «CET-2» expansion, National Commission on energetics has proposed to use improved steam-gas plants. Subject to stable gas supply to the Republic of Moldova, we forecast to extend «CET-2» in the most effective way at the account of highly economic, ecologically clean steam- gas plants of utilization type.
