The Crimean soda plant (Crimea, Krasnoperekopsk), the largest producer of soda ash in the Ukraine, has commissioned a turbine shop equipped with a 6-Megawatt turbine. Investments in the project were UAH 17.5 million and the expected payback period is eighteen months. The turbine is currently undergoing start-up and commissioning work, expected to be completed in three weeks. The plant will build two more turbines of 8 Megawatts each, said technical director Vladyslav Shmelkov, making the plant self-sufficient in electricity. The Crimean soda plant intends to invest UAH 132 million in development in 2008. The plant finished 2007 with a loss of UAH 1.59 million, when its net revenues rose by 18.83% compared to 2006 to UAH 636.923 million.
