Background

Amurskaya-1 combined heat and power station is owned by Far Eastern Generating Company, which in turn is owned by RusHydro.[4][5] The coal- and gas-fired power station is located in Khabarovsk province, Russia.[6]

The plant has 5 turbine generators and 9 boiler units, which are connected through a cross-link design. Unit 1 is the smallest with 25MW of capacity.[7][5] The five turbine units were brought online between 1967 and 1987.[7] Three of the nine plant's boiler units were converted to fire on natural gas: boilers 6 & 7 in 2000, and boiler 2 in 2004.[7] Far Eastern Generating Company's website reported slightly different information that in 2005 three out of seven boilers in total were converted to gas.[8]

In November 2019 the construction of a second ash dump for the plant was completed and will allow the plant to operate for another 25 years, according to RusHydro's subsidiary, the Far Eastern Generating Company. In total the project cost more than RUR 152 million.[9]

The plant produced 792 million kWh of electricity in 2020[4], 752 million kWh in 2021[10] and 1127 million kWh in 2022.[11]

Fuel balance uncertainty

The plant burns lignite and subbituminous coal[7] and sources gas from the Sakhalin oil and gas condensate field.[12] In 2018, shares of coal and gas in the fuel balance were about the same at 50%.[13] In December 2023, it was reported that several of the plant's boilers were operating on gas.[14] However, it was not clear what the exact fuel balance was. Therefore, the units were assumed to be mostly coal-fired, as of December 2024.
