Background

From January 2013, as a result of the reorganization, the plant was separated from JSC Kuzbassenergo into a new legal entity: JSC Novo-Kemerovskaya CHPP, which is ultimately owned by SUEK.[2]

Kuzbassenergo began building the Novo-Kemerovskaya power station in Kemerovo in 1950. The first stage of construction was completed in 1959.The power plant was originally built as part of the Novo-Kemerovo Chemical Factory (today OJSC Azot). The station was supposed to provide energy for the factory and neighbouring industrial enterprises. This has changed over the past years and today the power plant supplies heat and hot water to about a third of the left-bank part of the city of Kemerovo and supplies large industrial enterprises with steam. The power plant works synchronously with Kemerovskaya GRES power station and ensures the city's electricity and heat supply.[3]

The plant, located in Kemerovo province, has 8 units with total capacity of 580MW.[4][3][2] It appears that one unit with 50MW of capacity was retired in 2002.[2] A new unit No. 15 was commissioned in 2009 with capacity of 100MW[3], and its capacity was increased to 115MW in 2017.[5]

In December 2021, the company has completed a two-year modernization project which included upgrades to the cooling towers and the water conduit system.[6] The power plant produced 1,507 million kWh of electricity in 2021, in 2020 it was 1,523 million kWh.[7]

Fuel Balance

Over 2011-2012, the plant was converted to using cheaper Grade D (subbituminous coal).[3]

The plant is listed as both coal-fired and gas-fired.[8] However it uses coal as the main fuel, according to the company's website and other sources.[2][3]

Planned Retirement

The System Operator's document published in early 2023 did not foresee capacity increases or retirements until 2028.[8] However, the government decree published in December 2022 on the General Allocation of Power Assets until 2035 for power plants above 500MW of capacity stated that 3 50 MW units and 1 80 MW units will be retired by 2030. This will reduce the capacity of the station to 400MW.[9]

Unit 15 Expansion (2009)

In March 2008, RAO UES signed an agreement with the regional government of Kemerovo that cited the construction, among other projects, of an additional 120-MW coal-fired Unit 15 at Novo-Kemerovskaya.[10] In February 2009, Unit 15 was completed and went online, bringing Novo-Kemerovskaya's total capacity up to 580 MW.[11] The new unit cost approximately $50 million.[12]
