Background

Coal-fired units

The first units of the Kashirskaya plant were built in 1919-22, under Premier V.I. Lenin's GOELRO electrification plan. These original units burned lignite (brown) coal. In 1967-70, the plant was expanded with the construction of three new 300-MW coal units. Unit 3 was damaged in 2002 and was decommissioned.[15] It was then renovated in 2007-08, with work being completed in 2009.[16][17]

Inter RAO planned to decommission the coal-fired Units 4 & 5 in January 2019 (and to decommission the gas-fired units in January 2020).[18][15] Units 1 and 2 were decommissioned on January 1, 2019.[15][19] In 2021, the last operating coal unit with No. 3 with 330 MW of capacity was shut down.[15]

Gas-fired units

In the early 1970's, three additional 300-MW gas-fired units were added, with work completed in 1976. An additional gas- and fuel oil-fired[15] Unit 7 was added in 1983, with capacity of 80 MW.[20] Units 4, 5, and 6 were decommissioned on Jan. 1, 2020.[21] The boilers of power unit No. 7 remained in operation from 2019 at the station, providing heat supply to consumers before the construction of a new city boiler house.[15] Units 4-6 were previously identified as coal units; however, based on the available information, they do not appear to be or have been coal units.

Inter Rao reports that electricity generation at the plant was 0 kWh in 2021 and 345 mln kWh in 2020. However heat generation was 12,884 thousand Gcal in 2021 and 132,219 thousand Gcal in 2020.[22] This production data confirmed that both coal-fired and gas-fired units have been retired with no electricity production in 2021, although some heat generation remains by the boilers.

Coal-fired expansion

The RAO UES 2006-10 five-year plan (from before the restructuring of RAO UES), which RAO management approved in January 2007, lists as a long-term project the addition of a 330-MW coal-fired unit at Kashirskaya, with a completion date of 2008.[23] However, this was actually a modernization of the existing Unit 3; this modernization was completed in 2009.[20][24] In its 2012 annual report, Inter RAO states that it is "developing technical solutions and carrying out feasibility studies into the key economic and technical parameters of coal fired generating units featuring installed capacities of up to 400 MW for new construction or modernization of obsolete SKD coal-fired generating units" at the Kashirskaya plant. The report also states that this proposal, among others, was under review by the company.[17] As of 2016, there was no apparent news on this proposal and it appearred to be cancelled.

Gas-fired expansion

In March 2021, it was announced that Inter RAO, when competing in the government capacity increase program ("КОММод-ПГУ"), has won the right to install four gas turbines with capacity of 150-190 MW each. Total project's capacity will amount to 896 MW. The project is expected to be completed by January 1, 2028.[25] In May 2021, it was announced that the company plans to install four combined-cycle turbines, 150 MW each.[26] The company intends to use turbines designed and manufactured in Russia.[26] In July 2021, the company was considering Russian turbine manufacturers.[27]

In October 2021, Inter RAO Group («Интер РАО») and NordEnergoGroup (ООО «НордЭнергоГрупп») (subsidiary of Severgroup LLC)[28] have created a joint venture Kashirskaya GRES LLC (ООО «Каширская ГРЭС») for the implementation of the project.[29] In February 2022, Inter RAO Group and NordEnergoGroup signed an agreement about joint implementation of the project and subsequent operation of the power plant's new power units.[30] The total joint investment in the project will amount to approximately 80 billion rubles.[30] The parties agreed on the parameters of the project implementation, principles of enterprise management, financing, as well as approaches to solving various corporate issues. According to the agreement, Inter RAO Group will prepare design documentation, carry out construction and installation works, supply auxiliary equipment, and carry out commissioning of the plant. NordEnergoGroup will be responsible for the supply, supervision and testing of the main equipment, as well as its maintenance.[30] It was also mentioned that the company plans to install two combined cycle units, 450 MW each with the total capacity of 900 MW. The combined cycle units will be based on a Russian gas turbine GTE-170.1, created by Power Machines JSC (АО «Силовые машины») with the support of the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade.[30]

In September 2022, it was reported that the cooling towers of the original plant were being dismantled as a part of site preparation for the construction of the new gas-fired units.[31]

According to the document "Schemes and Programs for Development of Power Systems of Russia for 2023-2028" issued by the Russia's Ministry of Energy in February 2023, the new units will be commissioned in 2028.[32][33]

As of November 2023, the front-end design and engineering of the project was in progress.[34] In February 2024, it was reported that design, construction, and equipment manufacturing stages of the project had been successfully launched. Four GTE-170.1 gas turbines will be supplied by Power Machines. The first equipment deliveries are scheduled for 2025.[35] The first turbine is expected to be manufactured by the end of 2024.[36]
