Nowadays three power plants operate on Sakhalin: Noglikskaya GTP in the North, Yuzhno-Sakhalinskaya CHP-1 in the South and Sakhalinskaya SDPP in the central part of the island, which has been put in operation half of a century ago. Sakhalin power system is isolated and has no network communications with the continent. The island region is badly in need of its own reserve source of power supply.
