Project-level coal details
- Coal source(s): Zarechny coal mine, Vostochno-Beisky coal mine and Chernogorsky coal mine
Background
The eight-unit, 529.7MW coal-fired Biysk-1 power station is owned by Barnaul Generation JSC, which is part of SUEK.
The plant’s eight units were brought online between 1951 and 1994.[2][3]
In May 2020 Unit 7 was switched to run on cheaper D grade coal (Subbituminous). This was the last unit to be switched among all units, the process lasted for 8 years.[4] Previously the power plant ran on more expensive Bituminous grades. The company also mentioned that Subbituminous grade coal has better availability, particularly from the Kuzbass (Kemerovo) region.[4] It appeared that coal is supplied to the power plants in the Altai territory from Zarechny coal mine, Vostochno-Beisky coal mine and Chernogorsky coal mine, all of them are owned by SUEK.[5]
In 2021 the plant produced 1,817 million kWh of electricity, in 2020 it was 1,789 million kWh.[6] In 2022 the plant produced 2,164 million kWh of electricity.[7]
In early 2023 it was reported that one of the chimneys will be dismantled by the end of the year. The chimney was taking out smoke from only 1 boiler. This would leave 2 chimneys in operation.[8] As of February 2024, chimney dismantling was still in progress.[9]
Capacity Increase
In 2021, Siberian Generation Company listed 519 MW for the power station's capacity, but as of June 2022 it was 529.7MW.[3] In May 2021 the power station confirmed increased capacity of 114.9MW instead of the previous 110MW at Units 6 and 7. This was based on the results of the comprehensive testing done in 2021 and reviewed by the System Operator.[10]
The company further stated on its website that it has 7 active turbine units and 8 boilers.[3] Based on the System Operator's document released in February 2023, it appeared that Unit 2 with 25MW was retired earlier as it was not listed as part of installed capacity.[11] Unit 1 with 25MW of capacity remained.[11]
Accidents
In February 2021, two workers at the Biysk-1 power station received severe burns when coal dust leaked into the workshop and ignited. Both workers ultimately died from their wounds. A criminal case was initiated to investigate violation of labour protection requirements resulting in the death of a person by negligence.[12]
