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 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 in 2026. In July 2020 Yuri Trutnev, plenipotentiary of the President of the Russian Federation for the Far Eastern Federal District, announced that the plant would be converted to gas within a year.
