History
It began operation on December 26, 1956.
Initially the station used coal, but towards the end of the 20th century TGC-1 began converting to gas.
In connection with development of a gas powered station, physical deterioration and equipment obsolescence, reconstruction began in 2000 at the station.
- In 2000 the turbine unit number 3 was replaced.{{cite news|url=http://www.dp.ru/a/2008/02/13/Moshhnosti_TGK-1_virosli_na|trans-title=Capacities TGC-1 have grown on 12 % for a year|script-title=ru:Мощности ТГК-1 выросли на 12% за год|date=2008-02-13|publisher= dp.ru|language=Russian|accessdate=2009-08-24}}
- On December 28, 2007 the new turbine unit number 2, with an electric capacity of 30 MW, and thermal capacity of 75 GCal/h, began operation. Also the transformers and generator were replaced.
On August 23, 2009 there was a fire in the repaired unit.{{cite news|url=http://www.fontanka.ru/2009/08/24/005/|trans-title=Fire in Petersburg thermal power station|script-title=ru:В Петербурге горела ТЭЦ.
