Background

The power station is located in Ivanovo oblast, Russia at the exact coordinates 56.99066, 41.01133.[8][9]

Plant's history as a coal- and gas-fired power station

In 1939, the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR decided to build a new thermal power plant in the southeast of the city of Ivanovo. But the WWII prevented these plans. Development works resumed in 1950. The construction and installation of the first stage took 6 years. In November 1954, the first turbo-generator and one boiler were launched. And by 1956, 2 turbines of 25 MW each and 4 boilers were already operating at the station.[10]

The commissioning of the first stage of Ivanovskaya CHPP-2 made it possible to increase its capacity to 50 MW. The generation of electrical and thermal energy has steadily increased with the laying of new heating mains and the growing demands of local industrial enterprises.[10]

In the history of their development, power plants used a wide range of fuels - from peat and coal to fuel oil and natural gas. By 1969 the electric power of Ivanovskaya CHPP-2 reached 160 MW.[10]

The equipment was run down by the 1970s and needed to be replaced. The technical re-equipment of the station began in the first half of the 1980s. 4 modern turbogenerators were installed, additional equipment was installed and pipeline lines were laid.[10]

With the commissioning of the second gas distribution station, it was possible to achieve an increase in the specific consumption of natural gas, replacing other types of fuel with it. This brought a significant economic effect to the enterprise and had a positive effect on the ecology of the region.[10]

Conversion to fully gas-fired

The plant was switched entirely to gas (from a mix of gas and coal) in 2015.[11][12] Units 3 and 4 were converted to 70 MW (each) gas-fired steam turbines with CHP.[13]

As of May 2023, the power station has two operating steam turbines: Unit 2 (25 MW) and Unit 3 (65 MW). Unit 1 (25 MW) and Unit 4 (25 MW) were retired in 2023[14].

Planned retirement

The whole plant is planned to be decommissioned and converted to a gas-fired boiler house in by 2024.[15][16] Construction of the new boiler house started in June 2023.[17] However the System Operator's planning documents from 2023 do not indicate that the power generating equipment will be retired.[14]
