Background
The three-unit, 445-MW coal-fired Barnaulskaya-3 power station is owned by Barnaul Generation, which in turn is owned by SUEK. The plant used to be part of TGC-2 (Kuzbassenergo) until restructuring in 2013.
The station is the largest in the Altai territory. It supplies heat for domestic use as well steam to some industrial users.[1]
The plant’s three units were brought online between 1981 and 1985.[2][3][4] The power station consists of three turbines and 12 boilers (five power-generating and seven water-heating boilers).[1]
The gross capacity of the station is stated to be 445 MW on the company's website.[1] The System Operator's document released in February 2023 confirms the plant's capacity at 445MW.[5] Electricity generation in 2022 was 2,312 million kWh.[6]
Fuel Uncertainty
Since 1997, four of the boilers have been converted to operate on natural gas.[4] The System Operator's document released in February 2023 states that the plant can operate on both gas and coal.[5] However according to the company's website the main fuel is lignite coal.[1] Other media sources from 2018 and 2020 suggest the same - lignite coal is supplied to the plant from the Borodinsky coal mine, also owned by SUEK.[7][8] The coal mine is located in Krasnoyarsk region more than 1,000 km away from the power plant.
Modernization
As part of the plant's modernization, it is planned to increase capacity of Unit 2 by 10MW to 185 MW by 2026.[5]
Corruption case
In November 2017 a notary for Barnaulskaya-3 was convicted of embezzling 38 millions rubles from the plant, and was sentenced to four years and three months in prison.[9]
