Background

The Krasnoyarsk CHP-3 power plant is owned by TGC-13, which in turn is owned by SUEK.

The Krasnoyarsk CHP-3 power station began operating as a heat generating station in 1992.[4]

The RAO UES 2006-10 five-year plan (from before the restructuring of RAO UES), which RAO management approved in January 2007, listed as a long-term project the addition of two 185-MW coal-fired units at Krasnoyarsk CHP-3, with completion dates of 2009-10.[5] In 2009, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development provided a loan of approximately US$75 million to finance construction of one of the 185-MW units at Krasnoyarsk CHP-3.[6] Construction was completed in March 2012 with confirmed capacity at 208 MW.[7][8][9]

In 2021, the plant generated 615 million kWh of electricity, in 2020 it was 759 million kWh.[10]

Modernization and Expansion

In October 2018, a new generator with 208-MW capacity and an estimated lifespan of 40 years was brought online and replaced the old generator.[11] The key difference between the new generator and the previous one, as noted by the company, was the cooling system. An electrolysis plant was installed and put into operation at the station, which produces hydrogen, with the help of which the equipment is cooled.[11]

In 2021, Krasnoyarsk CHP-3 power plant was selected for the nation-wide COMMod program for modernizing energy generation equipment, where selected plants would receive capacity payments for 15 years.[12][13] In June 2021, SUEK announced that it would invest a combined total of RUR 33 billion toward modernization efforts at the Krasnoyarsk CHP-3 power station and the nearby Krasnoyarsk CHP-1 power station.[14] SUEK also mentioned that this modernization would include an addition of a second unit 185 MW by 2024-2027. Its construction was initially expected to start in 2021[15], but then pushed back to 2022. The addition of the second unit was also mentioned in the government decree from February 2022, to be completed in 2025.[16] The construction of the new unit was expected to help mitigate the retirement of older units at Krasnoyarsk CHP-1 power station.[17]

In January 2022, construction of the new unit was expected to start in 2022. It appeared that the turbine and boiler equipment had already been purchased at that time. A feasibility study was developed, but it was unclear whether it had passed government review.[18] Public consultation took place in April 2022.[19]

In January 2023, construction of the new unit was underway with expected completion by the end of 2024 at a total cost of RUB 27.5 billion, working with Russian equipment suppliers. The turbine, manufactured at the Ural Turbine Plant in Yekaterinburg, was being prepared to be transported to Krasnoyarsk.[20] The electrostatic precipitator was to be manufactured at Nazarovsky Mining Assembly Department.[21] As of October 2023, construction continued and transitioned into 'winter mode', with more than half of installation work completed.[22]

Construction incident occurred on site in January 2024 when a tower crane fell and seriously injured the crane operator. After the emergency, representatives of the prosecutor's office went to the scene and uncovered multiple violations.[23] Construction of the cooling tower was being finalized in April 2024.[24]

Financing

  • Unit 1: In 2009, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development provided a loan of approximately US$75 million to finance construction of Unit 1.[6]
  • Unit 2: Siberian Generating Company (part of the parent company SUEK) is said to be investing RUB 27.5bn rubles (ca USD 303 million) in the project.[25]

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.[26] 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.[27]

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.[28]
