Background

In October 2023, it was reported that Tatenergo was considering to transfer construction of 850-MW combined cycle unit (CC1) from the Zainsk GRES power station to the Naberezhnye Chelny power station, however, the parties have not reached an agreement on the cost of the project yet.[17]

In April 2024, CEO of Tatenergo Rauzil Khaziyev, mentioned the modernization project once again. According to him, the company plans to construct a combined cycle unit of 236 MW within three years. Construction may begin in 2024, and all the necessary equipment for the modernization project is already available. The construction of the unit is crucial for Naberezhnye Chelny as the power station is the city's sole source of energy supply. The project is still being considered as an alternative to the modernization of the Zainsk GRES power station.[18] It might include installation of a Siemens turbine, which was purchased by Tatenergo in the early 2010s.[19][20]

The project was also included into 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.[21]

In October 2024, it was reported that Unit CC1 at the Zainsk GRES power station would be built though as part of a different project.[22][23] It is unclear though if the construction of Unit CC1 at the Naberezhnye Chelny plant will proceed. The final decision was expected to be made in December 2024.[23] The project was not mentioned in the Scheme and Program for the Development of Electric Power System of Russia for 2025–2030, published by the Ministry of Energy in November 2024 or in the the "General Layout of Power Infrastructure Placement until 2042", released by the Ministry of Energy of Russian in December 2024.[24][25]

The construction of Unit CC1 was mentioned again in the media in February and April 2025.[20][26] The project was not included into the "Draft Schemes and Programs for Development of Power Systems of Russia for 2026-2031", released by the Russian Ministry of Energy in August 2025.[27] In November 2025, the project was preliminarily approved by the System Operator of the United Power System of Russia. Capacity delivery from the new unit is expected on December 1, 2029.[28]

The project was approved by the Russian government in January 2026, with commissioning scheduled for December 2029. It involves replacing the steam turbine of Unit 3 with a new 63-MW turbine, which will operate in combined-cycle mode together with a new 173-MW gas turbine (Unit CC1). Unit 1, with a capacity of 60 MW, will be retired. [29]
