Background
The plant’s three 80MW units were brought online between 1981 and 1983.[1][2] In 2009 following the modernization of the turbine at Unit 2, the capacity of the unit has increased by 20MW to 100MW.[3]
In its 2021 Sustainable Development report, En+ Group reported that the modernization of electrostatic precipitators has been completed at Novo-Ziminskaya power plant.[4]
The pant produced 1,100 million kWh of electricity in 2021 and about the same in 2020.[4] In 2022, electricity generation was about 1,200 million kWh.[5]
Ownership
The three-unit, 260-MW coal-fired Novo-Ziminskaya power station is owned by Baikal Energy Company, a subsidiary of Irkutskenergo, which in turn is owned by En+Group.[6]
In December 2019 Irkutskenergo announced that it planned to sell its coal plants and other coal assets, possibly to Gazprom Energoholding LLC, which would facilitate the conversion of these plants to gas.[7][8] As a first step the power plant holdings would be transferred to its subsidiary Baikal Energy Company for 27 billion rubles.[9] The sale was finalized and these holdings were transferred on Sep. 1, 2020.[10] 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. Gazprom Energoholding LLC emerged as a potential buyer.[10]
As of May 2023 and December 2023, there was no other news on the change of ownership.
