Auvere Power Plant Restarts Operations Ahead of Schedule Amid High Electricity Prices
POWER GRIDS & TRANSMISSION
Enefit Power has successfully completed repairs to the Auvere Power Plant's heat exchangers ahead of schedule, bringing it back online on February 4. The plant was synchronized with the power grid the following evening.
The original repair deadline was February 10, allowing for potential additional issues. The Auvere Power Plant now operates alongside the sixth unit of the Eesti Power Plant, which is under repair until February 12.
Electricity prices in Estonia remain high, with January's average reaching €154.44 per megawatt-hour. Demand in Estonia has surpassed 5,000 megawatts, and the impact of the Auvere restart on prices remains uncertain.
