CHP is an abbreviation for Combined Heat and Power. It is a technology that produces electricity and thermal energy at high efficiencies. Coal units track this information in the Captive Use section when known.

Background
The Nizhnekamsk 2 power station provides heat and power to enterprises in the Nizhnekamsk Industrial Hub, such as PJSC "NKNC" (a petrochemical company) and JSC "TANECO" (an oil processing company), and also supplies the city of Nizhnekamsk with hot water, including for heating. The main equipment of power station includes 9 power boilers, 2 water heating boilers, and 7 turbines. The total installed capacity of the plant is 724 MW.[17]
As of February 2021, unit 1R was expected to be commissioned in 2024, and at the same time Unit 1 would be retired.[18] This proposal was also listed in the Ministry of Energy 2021-2027 and 2022-2028 plans, the latter released in February 2022.[18][19] Since the new turbine would be supplied by a Russian manufacturer, Silovye Mashiny (Russian: Силовые Машины), the turbine delivery was expected to be largely unaffected by Western sanctions and Siemens/GE leaving the Russian market, and as of April 2022 was expected to go ahead as planned.[20][21] However, in August 2022 it was reported that Tatneft has requested to delay commissioning of this new unit by one year, to December 2025; this is likely due to the delay in turbine production by turbine manufacturer Silovye Mashiny. The turbine uses a lot of foreign components and their supply is now an issue.[22]
According to the Russian Ministry of Energy 2024-2029 plan, Unit 1 will be retired in 2024 and Unit 3R will replace Unit 3 in 2025. As a result of the project, operating Unit 3 (a 40-MW steam turbine) will be upgraded to a combined cycle Unit 3R (195 MW) with the construction of a gas turbine (155 MW).[23]
In early 2023, the power station obtained a construction permit for a new building to install Unit 3R (including the boiler, turbo-generator, and gas turbine). In February 2023, a notice of the start of construction of the facility was submitted to the Volga Region branch of Rostekhnadzor. However, in January 2024, it was reported that the launch of the first domestic turbine GTE-170 for Unit 3 R manufactured by Power Machines was postponed by approximately two years - to 2025-2026. The rescheduling was agreed upon at the end of December 2023 during the visit of a delegation of Power Machines to Kazan. The high cost of new capacity under the capacity supply agreements (CSA), which soared simultaneously with the increase in the Central Bank's key rate, is cited as a possible reason for the project's "freeze". Even though turbine for the plant was manufactured in December 2023, it will not be installed earlier than 2025. The dismantling of the outdated steam turbine PT-135/165 (Unit 1) is not being carried out because the new main building has not yet been built.[24]
Environmental concerns
It was reported in October 2023 that the plant was facing a claim of RUB 41.7 million for the negative environmental impact. Ecologists from the Volga-Kama interregional office of Rosprirodnadzor calculated the environmental damage caused during the past year and filed a corresponding lawsuit with the Arbitration Court of the Republic of Tatarstan. In response, the company rejected the claims and provided a contract with LLC "BestKhim," a waste disposal services provider, as part of the case materials. The court hearing was scheduled for mid-November 2023.[25]
