Background
The plant’s eight units were brought online between 1959 and 1971.[4] As of November 2022, the company's website stated that the plant operates 7 units with capacity of 320.3MW.[5] Unit 7 of 30MW was decommissioned in 2018.[6] System Operator's document published in early 2023 confirmed the plant's capacity at 320.3 MW with 7 operating units.[7] This includes smaller Unit 1 with 22MW and Unit 2 with 19 MW. The plant's configuration also includes 8 boiler units.[8]
Heat and hot water is supplied to the population and industrial enterprises of Usolye-Sibirsky, the agricultural complex and the village of Belorechensky. Electricity is dispatched to the grid.[9]
The plant produced about 700 million kWh of electricity in 2020 and 500 million kWh in 2020.[10] In 2022, generation reached about 800 million kWh.[11]
Ownership
Irkutsk-11 power station is owned by Baikal Energy Company, a subsidiary of Irkutskenego, which is 90.2% owned by En+Group.
In December 2019 Irkutskenergo announced that it planned to sell its coal plants and other coal assets, possibly to Gazprom Energoholding LLC, which would facilitate the conversion of these plants to gas.[12][13] Irkutskenergo would sell its power plant holdings to its subsidiary Baikal Energy Company for 27 billion roubles.[14] The sale was finalized and these holdings were transferred on Sep. 1, 2020.[15] Baikal Energy Company would then be in a position to sell the assets to another company. The transfer of assets was planned to happen in stages and be complete by 2024. Gazprom Energoholding LLC emerged as a potential buyer; after acquisition, Gazprom would facilitate the conversion of these plants to gas.[13]
As of May 2023 and December 2024, there was no other news on the change of ownership.
Modernization
As of September 2019, the plant was planned to be modernized along with five other power stations in the Irkutsk region. The modernization was planned to take place between 2022 and 2024.[16]
Modernization work continued in 2022 at the station, according to EN+ 2022 annual report[11], but no specific details were available
As of April 2024, modernization of boiler No. 3 was ongoing, with a plan to replace the drum of the boiler later in 2024.[17][8]
Expansion
In March 2024 it was announced that the project to install 2 new units (Unit 10 and 11 with 230MW each) was approved in the competitive selection for new generation in south-eastern Siberia. The units are to be installed by the end of 2028.[18][19][20] In April 2024, Baikal Energy Company announced a tender for the design works of the two units. Estimated capex is RUB 110 billion (ca USD 1.2 billion).[21]
September 2024 reporting stated that now three new blocks of 230MW will built rather than two.[22] Additional capacity is needed to commission the Eastern Polygon of Russian Railways, new industrial companies, consumers in the housing construction sector and other infrastructure facilities.[23] The updated 'General Scheme of Power Assets Allocation until 2043' released in November 2024 also listed 3 new units to be built at the plant.[24]
As of February 2025, design works were underway and in 2025 the company was planning to do pre-construction works and to obtain relevant persmission and to start preparatory construction works.[25]
