  • Coal source(s): Nazarovsky coal mine

Background

The nine-unit, 496-MW coal-fired Novosibirsk-3 power station is owned by SIberian Energy Company (SIBEKC). Siberian Generation Company acquired a 78% stake in SIBECO in January 2018.[2] Siberian Generation Company is part of SUEK.[3] In its 2021 annual report, SUEK reported 100% ownership of SIBECO.[4]

The plant’s units were brought online between 1942 and 2005. As of 2021, it appeared that several older units have been retired and/or de-rated as reported capacity and the number of units has reduced compared with previous years. Capacity is 496MW (as of June 2021 and same as of November 2022 and May 2023) with 9 operating units, according to the company's website.[5][6] The System Operator's report published in 2023 confirmed the capacity at 496.5MW and the individual unit capacities ranging from 4MW to 110 MW.[7]

Turbine #10 was modernized in March of 2022.[8]

The plant generated 2,263 million kWh of electricity in 2021, in 2020 it was 2,160 million kWh.[9] In 2022, generation reached 2,765 million kWh.[10]

Modernization

In December 2020 the plant was selected for the nation-wide COMMod program for modernizing energy generation equipment, where selected plants receive capacity payments for 15 years.[11][12] In June 2021, SGK announced that it would spend 12 billion roubles to replace two generators and two turbines, build a boiler and install three electrostatic precipitators at the Novosibirsk-3 power station. It aimed to replace turbine generators 11 and 13 between 2024 and 2027, increasing the power station's capacity by 40 MW.[13]

Turbine unit 13 was expected to be replaced in 2024-2026, increasing the unit's capacity by 20 MW to 120MW. Turbine unit 11 was expected to be replaced in 2026-2027, increasing the unit's capacity by 20 MW to 120MW.[14] It was also expected that by 2026 the boilers will be modernized.[15] This will include an assembly of a new boiler #15 and replacement of boiler #8 with a new boiler of the same capacity.[16]

Planned modernization and capacity increases by 20MW for turbine units 11 and 13 were confirmed in the System Operator's planning document published in early 2023.[7]

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."[17] 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.[18]
