CHP is an abbreviation for Combined Heat and Power. It is a technology that produces electricity and thermal energy at high efficiencies. Coal units track this information in the Captive Use section when known.

Background
The Nizhnekamsk 1 power station is the largest industrial CHP plant in the Republic of Tatarstan. Its installed capacity is 880 MW.[18]
Modernization
Modernization of Unit 3 was planned to begin in 2024 and complete in 2026 with the capacity increase to 102 MW.[19][20]
Report "Results of Industrial, Trade, and Foreign Economic Activities", released by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Republic of Tatarstan in February 2024, mentions modernization of the steam turbines at the power station with the total capacity of 467 MW in 2025-2027 without providing any specific details.[21] According to the Russian Ministry of Energy 2024-2029 energy program, the capacity of all operating units at the plant, except for Unit 3, will stay the same in 2024-2029.[20]
In November 2024, it was reported that five units at the plant will undergo modernization as follows:
- Unit 2 (PT-60-130/13) is scheduled for technical upgrades, including replacement of the high-pressure cylinder and regenerative heaters;
- Unit 5 (T-100/120-130/15) is planned for technical re-equipment focusing on replacing the high-pressure cylinder;
- Three R-100 Steam Turbines (Units 3, 8, 11) will be replaced by new steam turbines.
The equipment for Unit 2 is currently under production, with delivery expected in the first half of 2025. It is set to begin operations by the end of 2025. The other turbines will undergo modernization and be progressively commissioned between 2026 and 2028, ensuring a phased enhancement of energy capacity across the affected facilities.[22]
In February 2025, it was reported that a number of modernization projects was experiencing delays due the failure of Power Machines to deliver equipment within the agreed timeframe.[23] In March 2025, the modernization of two units (presumably, 8R and 11R) at the power plant was postponed until April 2026 and January 2029. The unit numbers were not specified.[24]
Replacement of Unit 3 with Unit 3R in 2026 was 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.[25] According to CEO of TGC-16 Eduard Galeyev, as of August 2025 dismantling of the old equipment and delivery of the new equipment were underway, and there were no delays in the schedule.[26]
In November 2025, System Operator of the United Power System (SO UPS, JSC) published preliminary results of the KOMMod project selection for 2029. Among the successful projects was the R-100-130/15 backpressure turbine, Unit 9R, at Nizhnekamsk 1 power station, with the scope including full turbine replacement, generator rotor replacement, and replacement of the steam drum of Power Boiler No. 5. For four projects (construction of units 3R, 8R, 9R and 11R), contracts for major equipment had already been signed, and detailed design and cost documentation was under development. All projects remain on schedule, except for the PT-60-130/13 turbine manufactured by Power Machines JSC for Unit 2, the modernization of which has been postponed to 2028 due to delays in equipment delivery by the manufacturer.[27][28]
The replacement of Unit 9 was approved by the Russian government in January 2026. Commissioning of Unit 9R (70 MW) is planned in December 2029.[29]
