Background
The Apatitskaya CHP power station is owned by TGC-1, which in turn is owned by Gazprom (51.79%) and Fortum (29.99%).[2] In 2023, ownership of Russian assets by foreign companies was seized.[3] However when it comes to TGC-11, Gazprom stated in December 2023 that it does not plan to buy out Fortum's stake in the company.[4]
The Apatitskaya power station is a combined heat and power plant (CHP). The plant’s eight units were brought online between 1959 and 1964.[5][6][7] Coal for the power station is supplied by the Inta, Kuznetsk and Khakass deposits.[6]
Turbine units 2 (36MW) and 5 (21MW) were retired in 2013. Unit 1 (36MW) was retired in 2016.[6] The plant's capacity since then is 230MW.[8] This also includes smaller units: Unit 3 - 28 MW, Unit 4 - 28 MW and Unit 6: 21 MW as well as bigger units Unit 7 and Unit 8.
The power plant is the only heat supplier of centralized heat for the cities of Apatity and Kirovsk.[9] It also supplies heat to Apatyt JSC - an industrial company that produces phosphate-based fertilizer products.[6]
In October 2021, there was a fire at the power station, staff was evacuated and there were no casualties.[10] Another fire incident occurred in February 2023. [11]
The plant produced 491 million kWh in 2023, 471 million Kwh in 2022 and 449.6 million Kwh in 2021 (Kolsky branch of TGC-1).[12]
Planned Transition to Gas
In mid-2023 it was announced that the Apatitskaya CHP will transition to operated on gas.[13] TGC-1 reportedly signed an agreement with Gazprom.[14] The timeline was not known.
