Background on Plant
The eight-unit, 615-MW coal-fired Biysk-1 power station is owned by Biyskenergo, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Siberian Generating Company.[2] The plant’s eight units were brought online between 1951 and 1994.[3][4][1] In May 2020 Unit 7 was switched to run on cheaper D grade coal,[5] or subbituminous coal.
Capacity Uncertainty
As of June 2021, the Siberian Generating Company website listed 519 MW for the power station's capacity and only seven active turbine units, but it is unclear which units have been shut down.[1] As of December 2021, the Siberian Generating Company website listed 529.7 MW for the power station's capacity and only seven active turbine units.[1]
Accidents
In February 2021, two workers at the Biysk-1 power station received severe burns when coal dust leaked into the workshop and ignited. Both workers ultimately died from their wounds. A criminal case was initiated to investigate violation of labor protection requirements resulting in the death of a person by negligence.[6]
