Background
The 34-MW coal-fired Chaunskaya power station is owned by Chukotenergo[1], which is part of RusHydro.
The plant was brought online in 1944.[2][3] It consists of several small units ranging 1.5-12MW.[2] The plant uses bituminous coal from the Ziryansky coal mine.[4]
The station is scheduled to be retired and eventually replaced by the Chaunskaya-2 power station, a new coal power plant in the same area, scheduled to start construction in 2026.[5] Until then Chaunskaya power plant will support the energy system in the area, which has been recently supplemented by the 70MW floating nuclear power plant.[5][6] The floating nuclear plant Akademik Lomonosov nuclear power plant was commissioned in May 2020.[7] It is reported that from April 2020 the main source of electricity for the area is the nulcear plant, but the station will remain operational until the Chaunskaya-2 power station is commissioned.[8]
As of 2022, the power station was still operating with plans to retire the station only several years after 2023.[9][4] In October 2023, a media reported mentioned that retirement date will be after 2027.[10]
