Background

In July 2021, the turbines were delivered to the construction site and installed.[11] Prior to the delivery of the turbine, foundations for gas and steam turbines and generators were prepared at the construction site, the casing was assembled from metal structures, and the concrete structures of the cooling towers were poured.[12] The new power plant is constructed right next to the Kazan CHP-3 power station.[12]

Siemens, the manufacturer of the combined cycle unit for the power station, announced its exit from the Russian market as a result of the Ukraine war in May 2022.[13] As of October 2022, the consequences for this plant are uncertain. One issue is the delivery of the combined cycle unit, the other issue is further operations and maintenance of the unit, which has historically been provided by the producer of the unit, in this case Siemens.[14]

In March 2023, Kazanorgsintez filed a lawsuit in the Arbitration Court of Tatarstan for RUB 9.5 million against three companies: Turkish Enka (general contractor), German Siemens Energy, and Moscow-based LLC Neftegaz i Energetika (contractor).[15] According to the financial report published in April 2023 by Neftegaz i Energetika LLC, Kazanorgsintez and Siemens Energy were exploring the possibility of an out-of-court settlement regarding the construction of the combined cycle unit.[16]

In June 2023, it was reported that commissioning of the power station was delayed, at least, until 2024.[17] In August 2023, Kazanorgsintez resumed construction of the plant and was planning to commission it by 2026. The general contractor is Turkish Enka Holding, which initially began implementation of the project together with Siemens.[18]

In April 2024, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of the Republic of Tatarstan Marat Minibayev, mentioned in an interview that there were some administrative issues interfering with the project.[19]
