Background
Construction - Phase I
The decision to build the Yakutsk GRES-2 power station was made in 2012 under a directive from the President of Russia allocating RUB 50 billion to the construction of four thermal power plants in the Russian Far East, including this project. In 2013, the design of the station, developed by JSC Teploelektroproekt Institute, received approval from Glavgosexpertiza. Construction commenced in 2014, and by 2015 gas turbine units were delivered and installed. The first phase of Yakutsk GRES-2 was completed on November 1, 2017 and became known as the New Yakutsk GRES.[16]
Yakutsk GRES-2 is intended to replace the aging Yakutsk GRES, providing additional reserve capacity for the central energy district of Yakutia (Sakha Republic) and reducing the reliance on outdated, inefficient, and environmentally harmful boiler houses. The construction is divided into two phases. The first includes four gas turbines (41 MW each) and peak-load water heating boilers. The second phase, with a capacity of 157.4 MW, is planned for the Yakutsk GRES site and is expected to be operational in the mid-2020s.[16]
Construction - Phase II
The second phase of the project includes installation of two gas turbine units with waste heat boilers of 80 MW each[17], on a site close to the current location of the Yakutsk GRES power station (Якутская ГРЭС). This location proximity will significantly reduce construction costs due to the partial use of the infrastructure of the existing station (gas supply networks, electric and thermal power generation facilities, roads, etc.). The existing Yakutsk GRES will be decommissioned after the completion of the construction of the new plant, scheduled for 2025.[17][18] In June 2021, the project proposal passed the official government review (Glavgosexpertisa), indicating a green light for construction.[18] In February 2022, RusHydro was conducting preparatory work at the construction site, which included dismantling a number of facilities of the Yakutsk GRES.[19] The project was included in the Ministry of Energy 2022-2028 energy program, released in February 2022, with a start date of 2025.[20]
In August 2022, it was reported that due to the sanctions, several RusHydro projects, including this one, were experiencing difficulties: the turbines for this station were expected to be supplied by GE and now this is no longer possible.[21] The company was exploring alternatives, such as Russian- or Iranian-made turbines, and was forced to re-design the project proposal to include the alternative turbine options. According to this source, this has caused the project to be delayed by two years, to 2027.[21]
The project was listed in the Russian Ministry of Energy 2023-2028 and 2024-2029 energy programs. Unit 1 is scheduled to be launched in 2026 and Unit 2 - in 2027. [9][22] In October 2023, it was reported that the front-end engineering design of the project was in progress.[23] According to an order issued by the Russian government in December 2023, Unit 1 (steam turbine) will be commissioned by July 1, 2026 and Unit 2 (steam turbine) - by July 1, 2027. [24] The construction is expected to begin in 2024.[25]
The steam turbines for the plant will be manufactured by the Ural Turbine Works. The construction of the second phase of Yakutsk GRES-2 is planned in two stages: the first stage involves commissioning of Unit 1, and the second stage will focus on the construction of Unit 2.[26] As of December 2024, construction of Unit 1 is in progress: a stator of the TF-90-2UHL4 turbogenerator with air cooling, manufactured by ELSIB, arrived at the site of the second phase of Yakutsk GRES-2 in November 2024.[27]
