“On January 15 at 6.32 a.m. at the Petropavlovsk Thermal Power Plant-2, there was a localized damage to the feedwater system, the automatic system was triggered in the normal mode, causing the shutdown of the main equipment of the station. Our specialists quickly localized the damage and are currently working on restoring the system. Own needs and circulation of the coolant, and therefore the heat supply of the city as a whole, were not affected, but short-term minor fluctuations in the coolant parameters are possible. The station's operating mode will be restored by 17:00," SevKazEnergo said in a statement.
