Background
Ownership
In April 2023, the Russian state assumed control over the owner of the plant - Finnish company 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.[6] 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.[7]
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 the steam turbine of Unit CC1 in 2027. As a result of the modernization, the installed capacity of the unit will increase to 263 MW.[8][9]
In December 2024, Forward Energo contracted a provider to inspect the gas turbines and generators of two power units at the Chelyabinsk CHP-4. The total value of the contracts is RUB 1.48 billion. Under the first contract, the contractor is tasked with assessing the technical condition of the gas turbine and generator for Unit CC1, replacing worn-out components, and restoring the equipment's operational resources. The work is scheduled to be completed by July 2028, with an initial contract value of RUB 745.3 million. Similarly, the second contract involves identical tasks for Unit CC2, with a completion deadline set for the end of 2029. The starting price for this contract is RUB 740 million. These projects aim to extend the lifespan and reliability of the power units while maintaining their performance.[10]
