Background
The 288MW Tomskaya GRES-2 power station is owned by Tomskaya Generation, a subsidiary of Inter RAO. Until 2015 the power station was part of TGC-11.[1]
The power station has 5 turbine units.[2][3] It covers 96% of the heating needs in the city of Tomsk, in addition to selling electricity.[4][5] Unit 5 with 43MW was retired in December 2022.[2] Unit 6 remains in operation with 25 MW of capacity.
Conversion to Gas
In the end of 1980s, gas became available at the plant and 3 boilers (presumably, out of 10) were converted to use exclusively gas.[1] As per media interviews with the General Director of Tomskaya Generation in 2021, the plant has now increased its gas usage with gas contributing 70% to the plant's fuel balance and coal 30%.[6][7] However, the System Operator's website still stated that coal is the main fuel at the plant.[8]
As of 2021, the company planned modernization of its boilers by 2027 which would allow to reduce emissions related to coal-fired generation by 20%.[6] In September 2022, the repair of the gas distribution point at GRES-2 was completed so the station was ready to receive gas.[9]
