CHP is an abbreviation for Combined Heat and Power. It is a technology that produces electricity and thermal energy at high efficiencies. Coal units track this information in the Captive Use section when known.

Background
The 5-unit 300.5MW coal-fired Barnaulskaya-2 power station is owned by Barnaul Generation JSC, which is owned by SUEK.
The plant’s nine turbine units were brought online between 1955 and 1992.[2][3][4] The first phase was commissioned in 1955. In 1958-1959, the second phase of the station was commissioned, with 2 boilers and 2 turbines with a total capacity of 50 MW (2 * 25) (units 3 and 4). In 1961-1964, the third phase of the station was commissioned, 4 boilers and 2 turbines with 52 MW each (units 5 and 6). In 1967, 2 additional boilers were commissioned and 1 turbine unit with a capacity of 50 MW (unit 7). In 1968-1973, the fifth phase was commissioned, 7 boilers and 2 turbines with 55 MW each (units 8 and 9).[5] In 2012-2015, turbine units 8 and 9 were upgraded to newer models, and their capacity increased from 50 MW to 65 MW.[4][5]
In early 2010s, the company decommissioned 4 turbines and 5 boilers, which became economically unjustified.[6] The units retired were the oldest 4 units with 100MW of capacity. This left the plant with 5 active turbine units with total capacity of 300.5MW, according to the company's website and the System Operator's documents.[7][8] Some other sources reported that the plant's capacity is 275MW.[5][4]
The plant supplies electricity and heat to almost half of the city of Barnaul - mainly to its central part.[4]
Fuel Uncertainty
In the mid 1990s, several of the boiler units were converted to run on natural gas.[4] The System Operator's document released in February 2023 confirmed that the plant can operate on both gas and coal.[8] However according to the company's website it appears that mostly coal is used.[7] Other media sources from 2018 and 2020 suggest the same - coal grade D (subbituminous) is brought to the power plant by rail or road transport from the coal mines owned by SUEK in Khakassiya region or Kemerovo - eg from Chernogorsky coal mine, Vostochno-Beisky coal mine.[9][10] Izykhsky Coal Mine was also mentioned as a coal supplier.[11]
Chimney Collapse
On April 11, 2021, one of the two operating chimneys at the Barnaulskaya-2 power station collapsed, causing extensive damage to the facility. The power station was forced to shut down operations for about a week. The Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for the Altai Territory saw in the incident signs of a crime under Part 1 of Art. 217 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Violation of industrial safety requirements for hazardous production facilities, resulting in large damage by negligence”), initiating a criminal case.[12]
The load was redistributed to the other chimney. 3 boilers were connected to the collapsed chimney (boilers No 6, 7 and 9, which was in conservation mode). It was decided to connect boilers 6 and 7 to the other chimney, while boiler 9 was put in conservation, as planned before. The redesign was completed before the start of the new heating season in autumn 2021, together with the dismantling of the collapsed chimney and the repairs of the damage to the facility.[13]
