Background
The three-unit, 445-MW coal-fired Barnaulskaya-3 power station is owned by Barnaul Generation, which in turn is owned by SUEK. The plant used to be part of TGC-2 (Kuzbassenergo) until restructuring in 2013.
The station is the largest in the Altai territory. It supplies heat for domestic use as well steam to some industrial users.[2]
The plant’s three units were brought online between 1981 and 1985.[3][4][5] The power station consists of three turbines and 12 boilers (five power-generating and seven water-heating boilers).[2]
The gross capacity of the station is stated to be 445 MW on the company's website.[2] The System Operator's document released in February 2023 confirms the plant's capacity at 445MW.[6] Electricity generation in 2022 was 2,312 million kWh.[7]
Fuel Uncertainty
Since 1997, four boilers have been converted to operate on natural gas.[5] The System Operator's document released in February 2023 stated that the plant can operate on both gas and coal.[6] However according to the company's website the main fuel is lignite coal.[2] Other media sources from 2018 and 2020 suggested the same - lignite coal is supplied to the plant from the Borodinsky coal mine, also owned by SUEK.[8][9] The coal mine is located in Krasnoyarsk region more than 1,000 km away from the power plant. Media source from November 2024 referred to sufficient coal stocks at the plant.[10]
Modernization
As part of the plant's modernization, it is planned to increase capacity of Unit 2 by 10MW to 185 MW by 2026.[6]
In November 2023, it was also reported that capital repairs of Unit 3 were completed and the turbine was put back in operation.[11]
Corruption case
In November 2017 a notary for Barnaulskaya-3 was convicted of embezzling 38 millions rubles from the plant, and was sentenced to four years and three months in prison.[12]
