Background

Kazan CHP-3 is the largest industrial heating CHP in Kazan, Tatarstan. To cover the thermal and electrical demand, Kazan CHP-3 has 7 power boilers, 6 steam turbines, 1 combined cycle unit with a waste heat boiler and 6 peak hot water boilers.[8]

A combined cycle unit (GE 9HA.01) with a capacity of 405.6 MW was installed in June, 2017.[8]

General Electric announced in March 2022 the suspension of the operations in Russia, except for providing essential medical equipment and supporting existing energy services. The Council of Energy Producers (which unites the generating companies of the Russian Federation) has previously expressed concern that if there is a shortage of imported spare parts or the impossibility of maintenance according to service contracts, further operations of the combined cycle units will be uncertain.[9]

Servicing by GE is critical for the combined cycle Unit 7. As of November 2023, Russian energy companies, the Ministry of Energy and the Ministry of Industry are working to resolve the problem. There is a considerable variety of foreign gas turbines, over a hundred units of different brands, ranging from small to large, in Russia. Approximately 80% of them are small and medium-sized gas turbines. The Ministry of Energy set the task of developing maintenance services and manufacturing of parts in Russia, specifically for small and medium-sized turbines. The solution for large-sized turbines should be found after 2027, which leaves the energy companies with the only option of resolving the problem on their own.[10]

In 2024, one of the 50 MW units (Unit 2 or Unit 3) will temporarily stop operating due to modernization.[10] The project was mentioned in the "Results of Industrial, Trade, and Foreign Economic Activities" report, released by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Republic of Tatarstan in February 2024.[11]
