Yeah, let me tell ya all about that ol' Afipsky NPP situation down in Krasnodar, June 20 - Yug Times. Governor Veniamin Kondratyev and CEO, Aleksey Sidorov, of the plant sat down to talk shop at SPIEF-2025. The Krasnodar Krai administration's press service shared the details.
Seems like the plant dived into a massive modernization project back in 2019, despite some challenges along the way: the pandemic, sanctions, chaos in Ukraine — you name it. But, they've kept their heads about 'em and pressed on!
So, what comes outta this high-level powwow? A formalized agreement to finish modernizing the plant. Once that happens, they're projectin' a production boost up to 9 million tons a year, with an increased refining depth of 93%. This upgrade would allow 'em to churn out primo Euro-5 standard diesel fuel for Russian consumers and the national economy — ain't that somethin'? Veniamin Kondratyev made sure to mention that the enterprise'll continuelly get the region's support.
On the management side of things, we got Vitaly Kozlov, the boss over at LLC "ForteInvest." He shared that the plant's been kickin' it in high gear, thanks to regional support. With commissioning works in the final stages, they're aimin' to lay claim to be the leading producers of Euro-5 diesel — a huge leap for the region and the country, according to Kozlov.
