Background
The plant’s five units were brought online between 1975 and 1987.[1][2][3]
In 2013 an additional 50-MW Unit 6 was commissioned. The unit had been part of the Ust-Ilimskaya CHP power station and was retired in 2004. The unit was transported to Irkutsk in 2011 and installed at the power plant in 2013.[4]
The pant produced about 2,700 million kWh of electricity in 2020 and 2021.[5] In 2022, electricity generation was about 2,800 million kWh.[6]
Ownership
Novo-Irkutsk power station is owned by Baikal Energy Company, a subsidiary of Irkutskenergo which in turn is owned by En+Group.
In December 2019 Irkutskenergo announced that it planned to sell its power plant holdings to its subsidiary Baikal Energy Company for 27 billion roubles (approximately US$365 million).[7] The sale was finalized and these holdings were transferred on Sep. 1, 2020.[8] Baikal Energy Company would then be in a position to sell the assets to another company. The transfer of assets was planned to happen in stages and be complete by 2024.[9] Gazprom Energoholding LLC emerged as a potential buyer; after acquisition, Gazprom would facilitate the conversion of these plants to gas.[10][11]
As of May 2023 and December 2023, there was no other news on the change of ownership.
Capacity Uncertainty
EN+ Group's website and their 2022 Annual report stated the plant's capacity at 726MW although other sources referred to 705MW.[12][5] System Operator's report published in early 2023 confirmed the plant's capacity of 708 MW consisting of 6 units.[13]
Modernization
In 2021, the company planned to spend 1.2 billion roubles (approximately US$16 million) to replace the main elements of boiler unit number 2.[14] EN+ Group's 2022 annual report mentioned that work on the boiler unit was completed during 2022 while repairs continued in other areas.[6] Auxiliary equipment and electrostatic precipitator were planned to be completed in 2023.[15] Another source from September 2022 also referred to completion of modernization of turbine unit 5.[16]
