Background

The Zainsk GRES with the capacity of 2.2 GW is the largest CHP plant in Tatarstan. It supplies electricity to Kazan and the oil fields of the republic, serving as the sole source of heat for the town of Zainsk.[22]

Unit CC1 is also called "Unit 19, 20" (Russian: 19, 20 ПГУ-850) in government documentation.[23][24] Construction of unit CC1 started in March 2022; this included work on the foundation for the new unit.[25] The turbine units were expected to be delivered in summer of 2022.[26] In July 2022, it was reported that, in line with the sanctions against Russia, GE has not supplied the turbines and, likely, will not deliver them in the future. The president of Tatarstan, together with the company, were at that time exploring alternative solutions. In October 2022, it was reported that the project has been put on pause due to inability to replace the GE turbine with an alternative equipment.[27][28] As of April 2023, Tatenergo is planning to substitute the GE turbine in 2023-2024 with a turbine made in Russia or other friendly countries. Even if the turbine was delivered, due to the sanctions, the maintenance would pose a problem. This may delay the project.[29]

When unit CC1 is brought online, the company intends to retire units 5, 6, 11 and 12 in 2023 according to the Ministry of Energy 2022-2028 energy plan, released in February 2022, and the Ministry of Energy 2023-2028 energy plan, released in February 2023.[24] However, in April of 2023 Tatenergo received an approval from the Ministry of Energy to delay retirement of the units till the end of 2023. In October 2023, it was reported that Tatenergo did not intend to extend the permission for operation of the four units for 2024 and they will be retired by the end of 2023.[30] The Russian Ministry of Energy 2024-2029 energy program released in November 2023 lists the units as retiring in 2024.[31]

As of November 2023, no final decision has been made on the project of construction of Unit CC1. As an option, Tatenergo is considering transfer of the project to the Naberezhnye Chelny power station, however, the parties have not reached an agreement on the cost of the project yet.[22] The project was listed in the Russian Ministry of Energy 2024-2029 energy plan, released in November 2023, with the expected commissioning in 2026.[32]

In March 2024, it was reported that the retirement of the four units was delayed until January 2025. Meanwhile, Tatenergo continues negotiations with the Ministry of Energy to transfer the modernization project from the Zainsk GRES to the Naberezhnye Chelny power station (the project capacity will decrease from 850 MW to 236 MW), and is also preparing to submit a new project for the Competitive Selection of Modernization Projects Program (KOMMod) at the Zainsk GRES based on a combined cycle unit, considering both domestic turbines alongside Chinese and Iranian ones.[33]
