Background
The seven-unit, 345-MW coal-fired Novosibirsk-2 power station is owned by SIBECO, 78% in which was acquired by Siberian Generation Company in January 2018.[3][4] Siberian Generation Company is part of SUEK.[5] In its 2021 annual report, SUEK reported 100% ownership of SIBECO.[6]
The company's website (as of November 2022)[7] and the System Operator's report published in February 2023 confirm the plant's capacity at 345 MW.[8] The units were commissioned in 1958 (third phase, Units 3-5) and in 1962-1970 (Units 6-9).[7] Turbine units No. 8 and 9 of Skoda Czechoslovakia were replaced with 80 MW LMZ (Leningrad Metallurgical Factory) turbine units in 1986-1987.[7] Older Units 1 and 2 that were decommissioned in 1988.[7] Units 3,4,5 have 20MW capacity and are not included in the table above.
In June 2021, it was reported that the company was carrying out repairs and modernization at the turbine unit 6 (65 MW). Another turbine (No. 5) was expected to undergo repairs in November 2021.[9]
The plant produced 991 million kWh in 2021, the same level of production was achieved in 2020.[10]
Fuel
The System Operator's report listed the plant as gas-fired and coal-fired.[8] However the company's website and other sources refer to coal being used as the main fuel.[7][11][12]
In March 2018 it was announced that the plant would switch from burning bituminous coal to lignite as it is cheaper.[13] However it was not clear whether this has actually happened as a media article from March 2022 mentioned Abakansky coal mine; Chernogorsky coal mine; Zarechny coal mine[12] and these mines produce Subbituminous / Bituminous coal grades.
Legal action around ownership
In August 2023, it was reported that Russia's Prosecutor General had launched legal action to seize coal plants operated by Sibeko, which the government was seeking to "nationalize." A lawsuit was filed against Andrey Melnichenko, the billionaire oligarch who purchased the Siberian Energy Company (Sibeko or SIBECO) in 2018. The prosecutor alleged the original purchase of the coal plants was "antisocial" and resulted from "corrupt collusion."[14] Sibeko's plants include Barabinsk power station, Novosibirsk-2 power station, Novosibirsk-3 power station, Novosibirsk-4 power station, and Novosibirsk-5 power station. It appeared that in October 2023 the parties reached an agreement regarding the shares of Sibeko and the case will not be pursued.[15]
