Major repair of unit 8 of Elektrėnai complex

After the major repair of 300 MW unit 8 of Elektrėnai complex is complete, its operational lifespan will be extended to 50,000 hours and an ability to generate electricity for 90 days without interruptions will be ensured. All major repair works should be completed in January–June 2023, thus, ensuring that the energy system of the Republic of Lithuania is adequately prepared for the synchronisation with the grid of Continental Europe and that unit 8 is available when electricity generation for an extended period is needed.
Unit 8 was launched in 1972 and, since the start of its operations until the end of 2020, it operated for over 162,000 hours, and its operational lifespan is coming to an end.
