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

This power plant provides power to Nadezhdinski Metallurgical Plant.[11]

In December 2021, the company has announced its plans to construct two new combined cycle units at this plant with capacity of 130-150 MW each by 2025-2026. The units will be built in addition to the currently operating units, location is unclear but may be separate from the existing plant.[12][13]

In January 2023, it was reported that such project could only be implemented using large-capacity gas turbines, most likely by foreign manufacturers. However, due to the sanctions imposed on Russia as a result of the invasion of Ukraine this option was not available, and Nornickel, was looking into building a nuclear power station. Another alternative is to purchase the gas turbines from a friendly country or initiate collaboration with Russian turbine manufacturer Power Machines relying on still experimental equipment, or construct a conventional CHP plant using steam turbines. However, these options are less favorable.[14]

Environmental concerns

On May 29, 2020 as a result of the foundation support subsidence, the bottom of reservoir 5 detached, causing release of all the stored diesel fuel. The leak of 21 000 tons of petroleum products led to the pollution of water bodies in the Norilsk-Pyasino lake-river system, estimated at over 200 billion rubles in damage. The incident is considered by scientists as the largest environmental disaster in the Russian Arctic.[15]
