Background
Ownership
In March 2022, in response to the Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the owner of the plant - Finnish company Fortum - announced that it would be ceasing all new investment projects in Russia and financing of their subsidiaries in Russia.[8] Later in May 2022, Fortum made the decision on a controlled exit from the Russian market.[9] The process of sale of power plants in Russia was stalled by President Vladimir Putin's decree on limiting the sale of assets in domestic strategic companies signed on August 5, 2022.[10]
In April 2023, the Russian state assumed control over PAO Fortum following a decree by Vladimir Putin, which established state management through the Russian Federal Agency for State Property Management. Fortum acknowledged the loss of control and will fully write down its Russian assets.[11] The Russian Ministry of Energy 2024-2029 energy program released in November 2023, lists PAO Forvard Energo as the current owner of the power station.[12]
Modernization
The Scheme and Program for the Development of Electric Power System of Russia for 2025–2030, published by the Ministry of Energy in November 2024, mentions modernization of Unit 2 in 2027. As a result of the modernization, the installed capacity of the unit will increase to from 180 MW to 190 MW.[13][14]
