Ownership Tree

Background
In December 2020 Abakanskaya CHPP was registered as a separate corporate entity and operates independently from its past owner TGC-13 JSC.[7] Its ultimate parent remains SUEK.
The 4-unit plant is the largest power plant in Khakassia. Lignite coal is supplied by Borodinsky coal mine.[8] The combined heat and power station supplies heat to 95% of consumers in the capital of Khakassia, Abakan, covers the need for electricity in the two largest cities of the republic - Abakan and Chernogorsk, and, in addition, supplies a number of enterprises in the city with industrial steam.[8]
The Abakan power station was initially constructed as a three-unit, 270-MW plant. In 2014, an additional 136-MW coal-fired unit was commissioned.[9][10] Construction lasted for 3 years and both Russian and foreign equipment was used. Electric filters were also installed.[10] In July 2012, the Eurasian Development Bank signed an agreement to provide a RUR 9 billion loan for the construction of unit 4.[11] The additional capacity allowed to close several old boiler plants in the city of Abakan.[12][8]
In March 2019 one of the plant's boilers caught fire. No deaths or injuries were reported.[13]
In 2021 the power plant generated 2,088 million kWh of electricity, in 2020 it was 1,954 million kWh.[14] In 2022, generation reached 2,652 million kWh.[15] In 2025, the power plant surpassed its previous record set in 2022, with total generation reaching 2,740 million kWh.[16]
In April 2023 a media source reported that the capacity of Unit 2 has increased by 10MW thanks to the recertification of generating equipment upon completion of comprehensive tests under conditions of increased electric and thermal load.[17] However the System Operator's official document from February 2023 stated that the capacity of Unit 2 was to increase by only 5MW to 105MW in 2023.[18] As of May 2023 it was assumed that the Unit's capacity was 105MW. However the System Operator's document from November 2023 confirmed that capacity has increased by 10MW to 110MW for Unit 2.[19]
Modernization
In December 2020 Unit 1 was selected for the COMMod program for updating energy generation equipment, where selected plants will receive capacity payments for 15 years.[20][21] The new Unit 1 will be completely modernized with complete replacement of the turbine itself, generator, steam pipelines within the turbine and associated auxiliary equipment, with capacity of 65MW.[22][23][24][25] TAs of March 2025, the main works were scheduled to start in late 2025.[22]
As of October 2025, a turbine and a generator stator were delivered to the site and installation works were to begin in 2026.[26]
In January 2026, it was reported that the temporary shutdown of the oldest turbine was planned to be offset by unit No. 4, the plant’s largest and most modern, with three operating units sufficient to meet projected generation until unit No. 1 returns after modernization in late 2026.[16]
Financing
- Source of financing: Unit 4: RUR 9 billion in debt from the Eurasian Development Bank[11] in 2012
