A 483-MW gas-steam combined heat and power (CHP) plant built by a China-Russia joint venture has been officially brought online.

The CHP is the tangible result of the joint project, which was launched by a China's Comapny and Russia's second regional power company TGC-2 in 2011, with a total investment of 571 million U.S. dollars.

As China's largest electricity project in Russia, the project was designed to generate 3.02 billion KWH of electric energy and 814,000 Giga of heating supply annually.
