About the Oryol CHP and the Novobryansk substation
The Oryol CHP is located in the city of Oryol (Oryol region) and functions as one of the region's key sources of electricity and heat supply.
The station provides about 40% of the Oryol region's electricity needs and 65% of the city of Oryol's heating needs.
The Novobryansk substation is among the five largest energy facilities in the Central Federal District.
It is part of the Bryansk power hub and distributes electricity that simultaneously arrives from three nuclear power plants — Kursk, Smolensk, and Novovoronezh.
The power supply of the Miratorg agroholding's enterprises and the Bryansk Machine-Building Plant, the main producer of diesel locomotives in Russia, depends on this substation's operation.
