Background
The power station originally consisted of Units 1-8 of 52 to 68 MW each. The first unit was commissioned in 1957, and the eighth in 1963.[1][2]
Ownership
The Angren power station used to be owned by state joint stock company Uzbekenergo. As part of the transformation of the country's energy sector, the state-owned Uzbekenergo was split into four companies, each with its own area of operation, from generation to distribution and transmission.[3]
A presidential decree dated March 27, 2019 made state-owned Uzbekenergo subject to liquidation. In March 2021, the distribution balance sheet was approved, and involved the transfer of assets to joint-stock companies Thermal Power Stations (TPP), National Electric Grids of Uzbekistan (NESU), and Regional Electric Grids (REG).[4] The Angren power station is now owned by Angren TPP JSC, which in turn is owned by the state-owned Thermal Power Stations (Тепловые Электрические станции).
In June 2020, Angren power station , together with several other state-owned assets, was transferred under trust management for 3 years to a company called Central Asia Energy.[5][6] 5 Representatives of Central Asia Energy were on the Supervisory Board of the power station (among 9 members).[7] Central Asia Energy is owned by another company Mining Works (Горные работы).[5] Mining Works is a co-owner of large surface mines in Kazakhstan and there were plans to import coal until the Angren coal mine operates at full capacity. [8] Both Angren power station and the Novo-Angren power station were referred to as loss-making, as of 2019.[8] In January 2023, according to a news report, the trust management agreement was terminated.[9]
There were plans to privatize Thermal Power Stations (TPP) and in August 2022, a tender was announced for the advisory services on the company's privatization strategy.[10] This is part of the country's plan to liberalize the energy sector.[3]
The plant generated 1,240 million kWh of electricity in 2021, 929 million kWh in 2022 and 1,047 million kWh in 2023.[11]
Unit 9 (150 MW) commissioned in 2016
In September 2012, Uzbekenergo signed a contract with China's Harbin Electric International Company for construction of a 130 to 150 MW unit at the power station, planned for operation in 2016. The total project cost was US$242.6 million, financed by equity from Uzbekenergo (US$75.1 million) and a loan from the Chinese Ex-Im Bank (US$165.6 million).[12][13] The new unit was proposed to replace the first four units of the plant.[1] Construction on a new 150 MW unit (Unit 9) began in 2014.[14]
The new 150 MW unit was completed in August 2016, and four units with combined capacity of 241 MW were subsequently retired.[15] The proposed new unit was included in the Ministry of Energy's 2020 plans through 2030.[16]
241 MW decommissioned in 2016
In 2016, when the new 150 MW unit 9 was commissioned, four units with combined capacity of 241 MW were retired.[15] Units 3 (53 MW), 4 (52 MW), 7 (68 MW), and 8 (68 MW) appeared to be retired. Units 1 (52 MW), 2 (55 MW), 5 (68 MW), and 6 (68 MW) remained in operation, in addition to the new unit 9 (150 MW).[17] Installed capacity is 393 MW.
According to the company website, six boiler units and four turbine generators with a total capacity of 241 MW appear to have been removed from the power station's installed capacity. Boiler units 1, 2, 3, 8, and 9 appear to remain, and turbine generator numbers 1, 2, 5, and 6 appear to remain.[17]
Proposed units 10 and 11
In July 2019, the head of Uzbekenergo said the company was finishing the development of a project feasibility study and working with a potential investor for the construction of an additional 150 MW unit (Unit 10).[18] Uzbekenergo said that in addition, the company may eventually add two more units at the power station (Units 11-12) totalling 450 MW.[19]
In January 2022, it was reported that the company intends to build two new coal-fired units (unit 10 and 11), each with capacity of 300 MW by the end of 2025.[20][21] The business plant of Angren IES prepared in late 2022 still stated the plan to build two 300MW blocks by 2025, with total investment cost estimated at USD 738 million.[22] A news report from July 2023 reiterated the plan to build two new coal units.[23] There was no further news on the project as of April 2024.
Financing
Unit 9: Total project cost was US$242.6 million, financed by equity from Uzbekenergo (US$75.1 million) and a loan from the Chinese Ex-Im Bank (US$165.6 million) in 2013.[12][13]
