Background

The four-unit, 720-MW Khabarovsk-3 power station is owned by Far Eastern Generating Company, which in turn is owned by RusHydro.

The plant supplies electricity with four power units of 180MW each, brought online between 1985 and 2006, as well as heat energy provided by 3 additional boiler units.[10] In 2012, the boiler for power unit 4 was converted to run on natural gas.[11]

In March 2019 the plant began converting one of its heat-generating boilers to run on gas instead of coal.[12]

The plant generated 3,253 million kWh of electricity in 2020[13] and 3,006 million kW in 2021.[14] In 2022 generation reached 3,309 million kWh.[15]

In October 2022 the Far Eastern Generating Company and RusHydro both referred to the plan to convert three units to natural gas in 3 years' time, i.e. by 2026.[16][17] In 2022 there were disruptions of gas supply from Sakhalin-1 Oil and Gas Project (Russia) to the Khabarovsk region as a result of production halt. This appeared to have been resolved by November 2022 as the project transitioned to the management by a Russian operator.[18]

In the beginning of 2023, the plant experienced two unplanned outages that resulted in only two units operational.[19]

As of November 2023, there have not been any updates about the conversion to gas.

In April 2024, it was reported in the media that the plant's boilers were in the process of being converted to gas.[20]
