Background
The eight-unit, combined heat-and-power 1,110-MW coal-fired Irkutsk-10 power station produces heat and power for industrial enterprises and the population of the cities of Angarsk and Meget.[1][2][3] Heat is said to be supplied to two poultry farms, while electricity is supplied to the grid.[4]
The plant’s eight units were brought online between 1959 and 1962.[5][6]
The plant has 16 boilers, four for each chimney. Two boilers form a double unit to work with each turbine, and operate independently. This confguration is different from other plants of the parent company and it is the only plant in Irkutsk with such layout.[4] In addition, the boilers are of the Ramzin system and they do not have a drum in which the water is separated from the steam. This process occurs in another part of the device. Such boilers, according to the director of CHPP-10, are several times less in metal consumption, but more manoeuvrable in terms of performance and cost less.[4]
In December 2020 En+ announced that it would replace one of the plant's 150-MW units with a new 150-MW coal-burning unit.[7]
The plant produced about 3,000 million kWh of electricity in 2020 and 2021[1] and about 4,600 million kWh in 2022.[8]
Ownership
The plant is owned by Baikal Energy Company (a subsidiary Irkutskenergo), which in turn is owned by En+Group.
In December 2019 Irkutskenergo announced that it planned to sell its coal plants and other coal assets, possibly to Gazprom Energoholding LLC, which would facilitate the conversion of these plants to gas.[9][10]
Irkutskenergo announced that it first would sell its power plant holdings to its subsidiary Baikal Energy Company for 27 billion roubles.[11] The sale was finalized and these holdings were transferred on Sep. 1, 2020.[12] Baikal Energy Company would then be in a position to sell the assets to another company. The transfer of assets was planned to happen in stages and be complete by 2024. Gazprom Energoholding LLC emerged as a potential buyer; after acquisition, Gazprom would facilitate the conversion of these plants to gas.
As of May 2023 and April 2024, there was no other news on the change of ownership.
Modernization
In September 2020, En+Group announced that it would spend RUR 1.1 billion to modernize three units at the Irkutsk-10 power station.[13] This will include installation of three new turbines with combined capacity of 450 MW, which [3]would replace some of the existing turbines. By 2025, a total of four new turbines would be installed. The first stage of modernization begun in September 2020 including some work on the turbine and boiler of unit 1, expected to be completed by 2022, which would increase the unit's capacity by 5 MW.[3] As of May 2023, it was not clear whether this capacity increase has been confirmed and the System Operator's document published in early 2023 did not refer to expected capacity increase at Unit 1.[14]
During 2022, a new turbogenerator or was put into operation at Unit No. 2.[8]
A media source from April 2023 reported that EN+ wanted to cancel several planned modernization projects, including at Irkutsk-10 power station, without incurring penalties from the System Operator.[15] Cost increases for some projects exceeded 300%. However the Ministry of Energy planned to reject this request in regions with energy deficit such as Irkutsk.[16]
As of April 2024, modernization program was in full swing. Two projects were nearing completion, two were expected to last until 2027. A new generator on turbine Unit 2 has been put into operation and Boiler No. 4 has been replaced. In 2024, the plant targets to replace turbine Unit 8 and complete work on boiler No. 16. In 2023 investments into the plant reached RUB 367 million (ca USD 4 million) and RUB 380 million will be invested in 2024.[4][17]
