CHP is an abbreviation for Combined Heat and Power. It is a technology that produces electricity and thermal energy at high efficiencies. Coal units track this information in the Captive Use section when known.

Background

In November 1964, the construction of a new thermal power plant began in the city of Arkhangelsk. The site for the Arkhangelsk CHPP was chosen four kilometers from the city center, in an industrial area, on the right bank of the Kuznechikha River.[10]

With the commissioning of the Arkhangelsk CHP in 1971, the city received centralized heat supply.[10]

Later, from 1982 to 1986, three hot water boilers were put into operation at the station. By this time, the Arkhangelsk CHPP has become the largest power plant in the region, operating year-round. The period of economic recession of the 1990s did not bypass the Arkhangelsk CHPP: due to the lack of fuel oil, it was necessary to reduce the production of electricity and heat - then the city was transferred to a limited heat supply and a system of "rolling blackouts". The station was converted to gas combustion in 2011-2012, when the boiler equipment was upgraded. After that, gas became the main fuel, and fuel oil became the backup fuel.[10]
