Practically all the industrial centers of the Therritori in its southern and near-northern parts are connected to the power network of the Interconnected Power System Vostok-energo.Only Nikolaevsk heat electric generation plant operates in an isolated mode. Separate consumers in the northern areas of the Territory are supplied with electric power from the out-of-system small diesel power stations. The installed power of the 109 power station of the Territory are nearly 2000 MW , 95 of which belongs to heat-electric generation plants located in industrial centres.
The largest power stations in the Territory are the Khabarovsk Heat-Electric Generating Station -3 HEGS-3 540 MW, the Khabarovsk HEGS -1 462 MW , Amurskaya HEGS 285 MW and Komsomolsk-on-Amur HEGS -1 275 MW . At present the Urgal black coal deposit is developed in the Territory. The productivity of the Urgal mine amounts to 2,4 mln tons of coal per year. Because of the specific features of using the coal mined, and the established practice of fuel supply , 70 of the Urgal coal output is supplied to Magadan and Sakhalin Regions. At the same time up to 7 mln tons of coal from Yakutiya , Transbaikal , Amurskaya and other regions of Russia are imported annually to the Therritory. Natural gas for energy needs and ferrous metallurgy of Komso - molsk-on-Amur industrial region is delivered by gas pipe line from Sakhalin. Oil processing industry of the Far-Eastern Economic Region is concentrated in the Territory and is represented by the Komsomolsk- on-Amur and Khabarovsk Oil Refineries. These refineries satisfy over 50 of the Far East demand and run on the oil imported to the Territory 9,8 mln tons per year. About 20 of the oil comes from Sakhalin oil fields by oil pipe line, while 80 is delivered by railway from Siberia.
At present time works on implementation of wind energy development programme are under way in the Territory. This is the only one in the Far East wind energy assembling base for wind energy installations of various capacity. MACHINE-BUILDING Machine-building enterprises manufacture ocean and river ves- sels, aircrafts, diesel engines and diesel generators, metal cutting tools, power engineering and casting machines, cable products, electric travelling cranes, processing equipment for fish industry and consumer goods. The Khabarovsk Territory accounts for 27 of the gross Russian output of electric travelling cranes , 1,8 of diesel engines. Characteristic features of the branch are unsufficient develop - ment of accessory manufactures, poor cooperation between the local producers, orientation of the enterprises to manufacturing products intended to be used outside the Far-Eastern region. Up to 80 of machine-building products are exported to the European part of the country and abroad, while the bulk of units, parts and accessory components are imported from the other areas of the country. Specificity of the machine-building of the Territory consists in its being a highly developed military-industrial complex comprising large - scale aircraft - and ship-building works. New tasks now facing the machine-building industry of the Territory are namely those of its re-orientation to satisfy the needs of local economy and the people living here. Ferrous Metallurgy The only metallurgical work in the Far East is Amurstal Works Komsomolsk-on-Amur, with the annual capacity about 2 mln tons of rolled stock. The main product is steel sheets 57 . At the same time the kinds and type of metal products non-productive in the Territory are imported from the other areas of the country. The primary material processed at the Amurstal Works is scrap metal which is supplied by the far-eastern enterprises. Other kinds of raw materials for steel-making are supplied from Siberia and the Urals. Civil Engineering The Khabarovsk Territory has a developed civil engineering which promotes functioning and development of indusrial, agricultural and social sectors of economy. About 4 of the fixed assets of the industrial enterprises are concetrated in civil engineering. The largest construction associations in the Therritory are Dalstroicivil and industrial engineering, corporation Rosenergostroi, Transstroi,Montazhspetsstroi,Rosavtodor. In addition, industrial and agricultural enterprises carry out individually 7 of all construction work done annually in the Therritory. Engineering complex has strong enough productive capacities available which comprise highly mechanized works producing struc - tures and parts of dwelling and industrial houses, basic construction materials. In 1992 over 700,000 cubic metres of prefabricated reinforced concrete structures , 113 mln pcs of bricks , 830 thd cu.m of fractionated road material 218 thd cu.m of gravel ,626 thd cu.m of joinery windows, doors,98 mln sq.m of ruberoid and other construction materials were produced in the Therritory. Capacities of construction industry enter - prises allow to increase production output by 25-30 per year. Besides traditional types of construction materials highly effec - tive basalt fibre is being produced, linoleum production is being organized in Amursk, the cardboard ruberoid plant is planning to produce a new kind of roofing material - tile, made of bitumen base, for cottage building.
