Background

The four-unit coal-fired Krasnoyarsk CHP-2 power station is owned by TGC-13, which in turn is owned by SUEK.

The plant’s four units were brought online between 1979 and 1984.[2][3][4] The plant's capacity is 469.9MW according to the company's website (as of November 2022), in line with the System Operator's document published in early 2023.[5]

In September 2021, the turbine in Unit 2 with capacity 110 MW was replaced with a modern upgrade.[6][7]

In 2021, the plant generated 2,343 million kWh of electricity, in 2020 it was 2,594 million kWh.[8] In 2022, electricity generation reached 2,298 million kWh.[9]

In September 2023, due to malfunction of one of the boilers, there was an ash release with a heavy smoke.[10]

Potential conversion to gas of power plants in Krasnoyarsk was mentioned in late 2023, however the practical implementation of this was said to be questionable.[11][12]

Coal-to-gas conversion

The regional gasification program for the Krasnoyarsk Krai for 2022–2031 includes construction of an inter-field gas pipeline and four gas distribution stations to prepare gas for CHP-1, CHP-2, and CHP-3. Under the directive of Russian President Vladimir Putin, the gasification of Krasnoyarsk must be completed by 2028. The transition of the region's three largest power plants to gas will require 2 billion cubic meters of gas per year, which needs to be supported through construction of a transmission gas pipeline.[13] It was also mentioned in the media that the gasification of Krasnoyarsk did not necessarily involve conversion of the city's power plants to gas, which was also described as unfeasible.[14]

In October 2024, a roadmap for the gasification of Krasnoyarsk Krai was signed bewteen Gazprom and the Government of the Krasnoyarsk Krai ensuring gas will be available in the regional capital by 2028. Due to the lack of gas transportation infrastructure for direct pipeline supply in Krasnoyarsk, Gazprom proposed an autonomous gasification solution using LNG. Key steps of the roadmap include: developing a list of consumers and a forecast of the region's fuel and energy balance up to 2035; designing a complex for LNG production, along with its reception, storage, and regasification systems; preparing for the design and construction of a main gas pipeline to connect Krasnoyarsk to the Unified Gas Supply System.[15]
