The Cabinet of Ministers announced the launch of the Dzhubginskaya CHPP power unit in 2030.

The power unit of the Dzhubga Thermal power plant (CHP) will be launched on January 1, 2030. A corresponding statement was published on the Russian government's website on April 29 following a meeting of the government commission on the development of the electric power industry, which was attended by Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak.
