Tirotex-Energo power station

The Tirotex-Energo power station is a power station in Tiraspol, in Moldova's unrecognized breakaway region of Transnistria. It is a cogeneration power plant, meaning it can generate electricity and heat at the same time. It was originally built for the needs of the factory of the textile company Tirotex in Tiraspol, owned by the company Sheriff. The plant began its industrial production and supply of electrical and thermal energy to consumers on 1 August 2010. It is capable of generating over 250 million kilowatt-hours and over 450,000 gigacalories annually. The station includes a water and sewerage plant, a steam power plant, a compressor station for compressed air production and a section of electrical networks and substations. As of 2012, more than 20 enterprises and organizations in Transnistria were consumers of energy produced by Tirotex-Energo. Tirotex-Energo is among the major consumers of natural gas in Transnistria, alongside the Moldova Steel Works, the Cuciurgan power station and the Rîbnița Cement Plant, which constitute essential pillars for the Transnistrian economy. Tirotex-Energo is geared toward the needs of its owner Sheriff, and the gas with which it runs is paid to the Transnistrian authorities at dumping prices, reducing production costs and increasing competitiveness.
