      The technical and technological characteristics of the plant can provide “Availability” of the power plant over 90%, if the situation on the electricity market is favorable. The indicator “Unplanned unavailability” which is an indicator of equipment outages and incidents during operation has a project value of less than 1% and is declining in the last two years due to investment in better spare equipment and timely and efficient response of the trained company staff.    The indicator “startup reliability” is with a projected value over 98%, but in the last 3 by optimizing the startup profile values ​​of 100% are achieved.     The indicator “Balance”, which is a deviation of the produced electricity from the nominee, indicates the efficient planning of the daily production of electricity and heat. This factor is in a constant tendency of improvement over the years and is significantly below the projected value, respectively below 1%.  

For better monitoring the Production Department’s performance, a set of new annual indicators was introduced. These indicators are defined as follows: steam turbine trip (ST Trip) – target below 1, gas turbine trip (GT Trip) – target below 1, power protective deloading (Protected Load shedding) time (PLS/PLST) – target below 120 seconds.

The attached table provides the values ​​of these indicators in the last 3 years, i.e. from 2023 to 2025.

These indicators were introduced in response to a noticeable trend of increased trips during 2023. The recorded figures were as follows: steam turbine trips – 5, gas turbine trips – 5, power protective deloading (Protected Load shedding) time – 148.5 s.

The establishment of these metrics was aimed at addressing the increased number of incidents and ensuring closer monitoring of operational reliability.

The root cause analysis indicates that the majority of trips in 2023 were triggered by external factors. Specifically, these accounted for: 3 trips each of the steam and gas turbines and 28 seconds power protective deloading.

In 2024, the following results were recorded: 0 steam turbine trips, 2 gas turbine trips  caused by equipment-related issues). The total power protective deloading is 259 seconds, twice the target of 120 seconds, of which 130 seconds are caused by external factors.

The steam turbine trips in 2025 once again exceeded the targeted value. One trip was initiated by the operator due to technical reasons, following the completion of overhau, while the other was caused by external factors. The remaining two reliability indicators met their targeted values.
