Background
Pavlodar-1 power station has been operating since 1964 and provides the Pavlodar aluminium plant with heat and electricity, as well as the residents of Pavlodar with hot water and heat.[2] Pavlodar aluminium plant belongs to Aluminium of Kazakhstan, which is part of Eurasian Resources Group (ERG).[3]
Coal is supplied from the Vostochny Coal Mine (Kazakhstan).[4]
In the fall of 2020, the power station's pipe network experienced an accident which caused the power station to be temporarily disconnected from the residential grid. This resulted in many residents not receiving hot water and heat during a particularly cold period.[5]
Information on the plant is very limited. As of December 2022, Global Energy Monitor revised the plant's capacity to 350MW from 520MW as it has been reported to be 350MW since at least 2016 by various sources.[6][7] An article from 2020 stated that the power plant operates 8 boilers and 6 turbine units.[8] Another source confirmed the number of turbine units at 6 with 350MW of capacity.[9] It is possible that some units were retired previously or they were not reflected correctly.
As of July 2023, the plant was conducting several repairs to prepare for the next heating season.[10] The plant also applied for an increase of the heat tariff, which was said to allow it to reduce the level of equipment depreciation from 79% to 77%.[11]
The plant marked 60th anniversary in 2024 and its degree of wear and tear is 76.8%. The plant planned to reduce this by 6% by 2030 with the gradual replacement of equipment. In 2024 Units 3 and 6 have undergone capital repairs.[12][4]
