Vuhlehirska power station (also known as Vuhlehirska TES,
flue gas stack that is 320 meters tall (1050 feet), which is one of the tallest structures in Ukraine. Since August 1995 the power station is operated by Centrenergo.[4]
The power station has an outward appearance similar to that of the Zaporizhzhia thermal power station as they were both constructed in the early 1970s
History
On 29 March 2013, four power units of the station were destroyed as a result of a major fire in which one employee was killed, and eight injured workers were hospitalized.[5]
According to information published in Compressor Tech magazine on 22 March 2022 during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the pipeline was damaged by artillery shelling, but technicians were able to perform some light repairs on it. It was also reported that the war had disrupted its network in multiple spots.[6]
On 26 July 2022, during
an offensive in Eastern Ukraine, Russian, DNR and LNR forces took control over the power station completely.[7][8]
