Background
The 600-MW coal-fired Zapadno-Sibirskaya power station was previously owned by Zapadno-Sibirskaya TEZ JSC (ultimately owned by EVRAZ)[3], but appears to have been reorganised to be a branch of EVRAZ ZSMK JSC, Evraz ZSMK steel plant.[4][5][6]
The plant’s seven turbine units were brought online between 1963 and 1987.[3] Phase 1 was completed by 1969 with capacity of 160MW, construction of Phase 2 commenced in 1972 and by 1987 the power plant reached capacity of 600MW.[7] The power plant burns coal as well as blast furnace gas and coke oven gas.[8][9]
The power station operates 11 boiler units, which provide steam for the seven turbine units via a cross-link system.[10] The plant is located on the territory of Evraz ZSMK steel plant.[3] In 2017, boiler unit 9 was fully converted to run on on blast furnace gas and coke oven gas.[11]
The main industrial consumer is the Evraz ZSMK steel plant (about 90% of electric energy and 40% of heat energy produced). Produced heat energy is also used to supply heat to residential areas of Zavodsky and Novoilinsky districts and enterprises located in their territory.[8]
The company reported a modernization program completed in 2021 at a cost of RUB 865 million. This included capital repairs of boiler units 6, 7 and 8 and turbine unit 4.[12] Electrostatic precipitators were installed earlier in 2020.[12]
In 2023 the plant planned to increase generation of heat to be supplied to new consumers in Zavodsky and Novoilinsky districts.[6]
Accidents
The Zapadno-Sibirskaya power station has a history of accidents and technical failures. In February 2009, two boilers were stopped at the power station, which forced the introduction of restrictions on heat supply and led to the evacuation of patients from the children's hospital and the maternity hospital of the Zavodskoy district. A major accident in May 2009 caused dismissal of the power station's director. The director hired as a replacement was fired in January 2012 due to another major accident.[13]
In March 2014, an explosion at the power station killed one worker and seriously injured 8 others. An investigation into the incident determined that failure to comply with industrial safety requirements led to the explosion. Despite these circumstances, management did not suspend operations at the power station. As a result of the investigation, both a legal entity and 17 officials were brought to administrative responsibility in the form of fines. A criminal case was also opened as a result of the accident.[14]
