The plant has two chimneys which were built in 1966 are also used as high-voltage pylon. The plant has 12 units with a total installed capacity of 2,334 MW. It has a 330 kV double-circuit connection to the 750/330 kV substation called ZahidnoUkrainska (WestUkraine).
The rest of Ukraine was connected to the Soviet-era IPS/UPS network (effectively controlled by Russia) until early 2022, when it switched to the synchronous grid of Continental Europe, controlled by European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E). The part of the Ukrainian power grid called Burshtyn Island has been connected to the European grid since 2003. The power plant holds the frequency and phase angle in the Island. The power plant has a 400 kV connection to the Hungarian, Slovak and Romanian grid via the substation at Mukachevo.
