Background
The four-unit, 148.8-MW coal-fired Ulan Ude CHP-1 began operation in 1936. The power station is owned by TGC-14, which used to be part of Russian Railways[2][3], but was bought by Far Eastern Management Company in early 2022[4] and consolidated more than 90% in TGC-14. Two private individuals are shareholders of the Far Eastern Management Company - Konstantin Lulchev and Victor Myasnik.[5]
In addition to Units 6 and 7, the plant also includes smaller Units 1 with 8.4MW and Unit 3 with 12 MW.[6]
The extreme age of the power station has lead to numerous problems. The plant suffered major accidents in 2001, 2008, and 2009. And at least twice, during extreme frosts, the Ministry of Emergencies considered options for evacuating the population of Ulan-Ude because the power station was incapable of meeting heat demand.[7]
In December 2021, a fire at the Ulan Ude CHP-1 power station caused four boilers and two steam turbines to be disconnected, triggering a declaration of emergency for the town.[8][9] Experts estimated that the fire had caused about 100 million roubles worth of damage.[10]
In 11 months of 2023, the plant produced 652 million kWh, which was 13.3% higher than in 2022.[11]
Modernization
In March 2022, a replacement turbine for Unit 6 has been delivered to the station for installation. The new unit will result in increased capacity of Unit 6 to 32 MW.[12] In May 2022, the installation of the new unit has started.[13] The installation was completed in October 2022.[14] The modernization project was financed by Promsvyazbank.[14] However the System Operator's documents from February 2023 and November 2023 still referred to the unit's capacity of 30MW.[6][15]
