Background
Amurskaya-1 combined heat and power station is owned by Far Eastern Generating Company, which in turn is owned by RusHydro.[7][8] The coal- and gas-fired power station is located in Khabarovsk province, Russia.[9]
The plant has 5 turbine generators and 9 boiler units, which are connected through a cross-link design. Unit 1 is the smallest with 25MW of capacity and is not reflected in GEM's Global Coal Plant Tracker.[10][8] The five turbine units were brought online between 1967 and 1987.[10], Wikipedia (Russian), accessed June 2018. Three of the nine plant's boiler units were converted to fire on natural gas: boilers 6 & 7 in 2000, and boiler 2 in 2004.[10] Far Eastern Generating Company's website reported slightly different information that in 2005 three out of seven boilers in total were converted to gas.[11]
In November 2019 the construction of a second ash dump for the plant was completed and will allow the plant to operate for another 25 years, according to RusHydro's subsidiary, the Far Eastern Generating Company. In total the project cost more than RUR 152 million.[12]
The plant produced 792 million kWh of electricity in 2020[7], 752 million kWh in 2021[13],1127 million kWh in 2022[14], 1198 million kWh in 2023, 1220 million kWh in 2024 [15] .
In November 2021, it was reported that boiler units No. 9 and 10 at Amurskaya-1 power station would be converted to natural gas as part of the Khabarovsk Krai energy development program planned through 2025, with total regional investments of 68 billion rubles.[16] The specific cost of the Amurskaya-1 power station conversion was not disclosed.
Fuel balance uncertainty
Three of the plant's nine boiler units fire on natural gas sourced from the Sakhalin oil and gas condensate field,[17] while the remaining six burn lignite and subbituminous coal.[10] Due to the cross-link design, all turbine generators can receive steam from both coal-fired and gas-fired boilers. In 2018, shares of coal and gas in the fuel balance were about the same at 50%.[18] In December 2023, it was reported that several of the plant's boilers were operating on gas.[19] However, it was not clear what the exact fuel balance was. Therefore, the units were assumed to be mostly coal-fired, as of December 2024.
