Background on Plant

The four-unit, 400-MW coal-fired Artyomovskaya power station is owned by RusHydro. The plant’s four units were brought online between 1961 and 1969.

In July 2018 the Ministry of Energy announced a program of financial incentives for transitioning coal-fired plants to run on gas. In November 2018 the Far Eastern Generating Co. tendered the construction of a new gas-fired plant that would be built by 2020 and would replace the plant's coal-fired units. In May 2019 RusHydro announced that a 91-billion ruble modernization of the plant was scheduled for 2026. In July 2019 the Russian government ordered that the plant's coal-fired units would be retired upon completion of the new gas-fired plant, which was now aiming to complete construction by 2026.

In 2021, RusHydro announced that they were allocating RUR 462 million for repairs at Artyomovskaya power station.
