Background
En+ Group proposed to construct a gas turbine power station near the Kovykta gas field. In March 2023, head of the group's energy business Mikhail Khardikov mentioned that while specific timelines had not yet been defined, the initiative was underway and progressing. Facilities for liquefying and processing gas extracted in the Irkutsk region will need to be built for operation of the power station.[6] As of December 2024, there have not been any updates about the project. The construction of the power station was not mentioned in the Russian Ministry of Energy 2024-2029 or 2025-2030 energy programs.[7][8]
