Background on Plant

The six-unit, 372-MW coal-fired Novosibirsk-4 power station is owned by SGK, which acquired a 78% stake in the station's operator Sibeko in January 2018. The plant’s six units were brought online between 1953 and 1970. In August 2018 SGK was acquired by Siberian Coal Energy Company (SUEK).

In March 2018 it was announced that the plant would switch from burning bituminous coal to lignite because lignite is cheaper. In June 2018 the capacity of Unit 4 was increased from 100 MW to 110 MW. In December 2019 SGK announced a plan to increase the plant's chimneys from 60 m in height to 98 m in height in 2021-2022, which would reduce ground-level air pollution.
