Background
Chaunskaya-2 power station would replace the original Chaunskaya power station, which was commissioned in 1944 and expected to be retired several years after 2023.[2]
As of November 2021, construction of the plant was expected to start in 2026 with completion by 2028, according to a media article.[3] RusHydro was looking at selecting the site and choosing the fuel, with local coal being one of the options. It would be based on advanced modern technology with high levels of filtration of emissions. RusHydro was developing the investment proposal for the station with a plan to have the project prepared in 2022-2023.[3]
The area's main power supply comes from a 70-MW floating nuclear power plant, Akademik Lomonosov nuclear power plant which was commissioned in May 2020.[4][5]
As of April 2023 and December 2023, there were no new updates related to the proposal of Chaunskaya-2 power station. In October 2023, it was announced that RusHydro may build another floating nuclear power plant to cover the power needs when the old CHP (presumably the Chaunskaya power station) is retired after 2027.[6] It could be that this proposal will replace the plans to build the coal-fired Chaunskaya-2.
With no updates on the project for 2 years, the proposal was considered Shelved, as of December 2023.
However in May and then in July 2024, the project appeared to be revived. In July 2024, it was reported that the feasibility study was completed for the plant. It will have a capacity of 49MW with an option to increase it to 75MW.[7][8] Construction is planned to start in 2026.[9]
