LUKoil Makes Electricity

LUKoil has completed construction of the fourth power block at its combined heat and power plant in Romania and is operating it on a trial basis, the company said.

The plant is located at the site of the Petrotel-LUKoil oil refinery and supplies heat and electricity to those facilities. The fourth power block will also provide electricity to the Romanian market.

The boiler will use petroleum coke, an inexpensive end product of the refining process, as fuel. This is LUKoil’s first project to use petroleum coke as a fuel source for electricity production.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
