Background on existing plant
The power station consists of five operating units built from 1951–1964; three of the original units have been retired.[1]
In April 2014 DTEK said it was retrofitting unit 8 of Dobrotvirska.[2]
Proposed new units
Owner DTEK plans the construction of three new coal-fired units at Dobrotvir with capacity of 225MW each (675 MW total), replacing older units.[3]
DTEK Zakhidenergo will also construct a cross-border transmission line between Ukraine and Poland. According to the National Ecological Centre of Ukraine, the description of the transmission project states that all power from Dobrotvir would be exported.[3]
According to Platts, unit 9 was set for completion in 2013, and units 10 and 11 still in the planning stages;[4] however, construction of unit 9 was not mentioned in the company's April 2014 press release.[2]
In February 2010, ITOCHU Corporation together with Tokyo Electric Power Services Co., Ltd. made a preliminary study on Power Sector and Thermal Power Plants (TPPs) in Ukraine and released a feasibility study on the Dobrotvir extension in February 2014.[5]
The National Ecological Centre of Ukraine states the three new units have a planned commissioning date of 2019,[3] while the 2014 preliminary study puts commercial operation at 2021.[5]
