Background
The two-unit, 200-MW coal-fired Partizanskaya power station is owned by Far Eastern Generating Company, which is a subsidiary of RusHydro.[5]
The plant’s two units were brought online in 1966 and 1980.[6] In 2009, Unit 3 with 41MW of capacity was retired as one of the turbines was decommissioned and replaced by a 100 MW turbine moved from the Raichihinskaya power station.[6]
Partizanskaya power plant generated 844 million kWh of electricity in 2020, 1006 million kWh in 2019.[7] In 2021 electricity generation was 945 million kWh.[8]
Coal Expansion
In April 2021, RusHydro announced that it would expand the Partizanskaya power station by adding two additional 140 MW power units, bringing the total capacity to 480 MW.[9] The new units were planned to undergo construction from 2022 to 2026.[10] The government decree from February 2022 confirmed the planned commissioning of the new coal units by 2026.[11] Technical and economic evaluation for the expansion was carried out in 2021.[12] RusHydro's 2021 annual report referred to the investment project and its total estimated investment cost of 76.2 billion roubles.[13]
A media report from October 2022 mentioned that the development of design documentation for the expansion of Partizanskaya GRES was completed and the technical part was transferred to Glavgosexpertiza.[14] In April 2023 it was announced that the plant's expansion was chosen as one of the projects implemented by RusHydro that will undergo a public technical and pricing audit.[15] Furthermore, RysHydro's press release from April 2023 commenting on the board of directors' meeting stated that preparatory work is under way for the expansion of Partizanskaya GRES.[16]
The government decree on the implementation of the programme for the power industry for 2023-2028 updated in February 2023 further confirmed planned commissioning of Units 4 and 5 in 2026.[17]
In July 2023, the project received an approval of the project from the State Expert Review Board (Glavgoskespertiza). Construction works are expected to last 34 months.[18] RusHydro will be undertaking construction, the general designer is Lengidroproject. The cost of the expansion is estimated at 76.2bn roubles (same as previous estimate).[19]
As of March 2024, construction was on-going.[20][21]
Potential Transition to Gas
In January 2024, transition of the plant to natural gas was proposed. The Minister of Energy and Gas Supply of Primorye region stated that an appeal was being prepared to Gazprom to adjust the gas supply scheme for the Partizansky District for 2026-30, including for the power plant. Gasification of the plant will require the construction of a gas distribution station and a supply of 35km gas pipeline.[21][22]
Financing
In May 2023, it was reported that RusHydro wants to cover up to 40% of the project cost, i.e. 30.5 bn roubles, with funds from the National Wealth Fund.[19]
Environmental impact
In 2017 and 2018 several videos were posted on YouTube of black smoke emitting from the plant, and an employee of the plant reported that the smoke was coal ash escaping due to improperly fitted pipes and boilers.[23]
