Background on Plant

The ten-unit, 535-MW coal-fired Novosibirsk-3 power station is owned by SGK, which acquired a 78% stake in the station's operator Sibeko in January 2018.. The plant’s ten units were brought online between 1942 and 2005. Four units have been retired.

Capacity uncertainty

Although the power station's turbines have a rated capacity of 535 MW, as of June 2021, the Siberian Generating Company website lists a total capacity of 496 MW for the power station.

Modernization

In August 2018 SGK was acquired by Siberian Coal Energy Company (SUEK). In December 2020 the plant was chosen for a modernization and refurbishment program that will increase its overall capacity by 20 MW by 2026.

In June 2021, SGK announced that it would spend 12 billion rubles to replace two generators and two turbines, build a boiler and install three electrostatic precipitators at the Novosibirsk-3 power station. It aims to replace turbine generators 11 and 13 between 2024 and 2027, increasing the power station's capacity by 40 MW. Turbine #13 is expected to be replaced from 2024-2026, increasing the unit's capacity by 20 MW. Turbine #11 is expected to be replaced from 2026-2027, increasing the unit's capacity by 20 MW. By 2027, it is also expected that the boiler section of the station will be modernized. This will include an assembly of a new boiler #15 and replacement of boiler #8 with a new boiler of the same capacity.

Turbine #10 was modernized in March of 2022.
