Background
The Yuzhno-Sakhalinskaya 1 power station is owned by Sakhalinenergo, which in turn is owned by RusHydro.[7][8] The plant is part of the Sakhalin energy system, which is an isolated island system operating separately from United Power System of Russia.[9] However, starting from 2024 the energy system of the Sakhalin region will be operating under the management of System Operator of the Unitеd Power System of Russia (SO UPS) and will be included in the "Scheme and program for development of the power system of Russia" released annually by the Ministry of Energy of Russia.[10]
The station consists of two independent production facilities. The older facility, containing power units 1-3, consists of 5 boiler units and 3 turbine units, connected with a cross-link configuration, with total capacity of 225 MW. This section of the power station was originally designed to burn coal, but all five boiler units were converted to burn gas between 2011 and 2013. Coal remained as reserve fuel.[9]
The second production facility, consisting of power units 4 & 5 with 230 MW of gas-fired capacity, became fully operational in 2013 and 2012, accordingly.[9][11][12][13] Unit 4 consists of 3 GE gas turbines (LM 6000 PF Sprint) of 46.36. MW each and Unit 5 includes 2 GE gas turbines (LM 6000 PF Sprint) of 45.58 MW each.[1]
Replacement of Unit 5
After the start of the invasion of Ukraine by Russia in February 2022, the Russian energy sector faced sanctions. Despite existing contracts, it became impossible to provide servicing of GE gas turbines of Unit 5. Two LM6000 PD Sprint gas turbine units manufactured by GE, with a total capacity of 91.2 MW, were commissioned in August 2012. In September 2022, the government of the Sakhalin region instructed to procure two gas turbines for Unit 5 from a national manufacturer. As part of the investment program of Sakhalinenergo, a subsidiary of RusHydro, a contract was signed with ODK Aviadvigatel, part of the United Engine Corporation of Rostec, for the supply of two gas turbine units EGES-25PA with a capacity of 25 MW each. The installation of Russian gas turbine units began in early February 2024. The equipment will be operated in a simple cycle and used to cover peak loads of the Yuzhno-Sakhalinskaya-1 power station. The fuel will be local gas. However, the risks have increased as the capacity of Russian gas turbine units is almost half that of the previously planned units.[14]
Bribery charges against plant's deputy director
In September 2020 the plant's former deputy director plead guilty to charges of taking 1,860,000 rubles in bribes from representatives of Far Eastern Engineering Company LLC in exchange for modifying a contract for the reconstruction of the plant's railway tracks.[15]
