Background
The six-unit, 1,200-MW coal-fired Novosibirsk-5 power station is owned by Siberian Generation Company, part of SUEK. Siberian Generation Company acquired a 78% stake in the station's operator Sibeko in January 2018.[1] In its 2021 annual report, SUEK reported 100% ownership of SIBECO.[2]
The plant’s six units were brought online between 1985 and 2004.[3][4] The plant can burn coal, natural gas, water-coal suspension and heavy fuel oil, according to the company's website.[5] It supplies heat to 35% of population in Novosibirsk.[5]
In March 2018 it was announced that the plant will switch from burning bituminous coal to lignite as it is cheaper.[6][5] It appears that this decision was contested in court and Siberian Generation Company lost the case, however no clear action or outcome was mentioned and the station continued to operate using lignite coal.[7][5]
The power plant produced 5,970 million kWh of electricity in 2021 and 5,499 million kWh in 2020.[8] In 2022, the plant produced 7,116 million kWh.[9]
An article from February 2023 reported that the station is converting boilers associated with turbine unit 3 to use gas for start-up instead of heavy fuel oil.[10] This was expected to be completed by 2024.[11] Gas for start-up is used at Units 1 and 2 according to the design. The fuel oil firing method still remains on the boilers of 4th, 5th and 6th turbine units - the station plans to switch one boiler each year to gas firing during start-up operations.[10][11]
Legal action around ownership
In August 2023, it was reported that Russia's Prosecutor General had launched legal action to seize coal plants operated by Sibeko, which the government was seeking to "nationalize." A lawsuit was filed against Andrey Melnichenko, the billionaire oligarch who purchased the Siberian Energy Company (Sibeko or SIBECO) in 2018. The prosecutor alleged the original purchase of the coal plants was "antisocial" and resulted from "corrupt collusion."[12] Sibeko's plants include Barabinsk power station, Novosibirsk-2 power station, Novosibirsk-3 power station, Novosibirsk-4 power station, and Novosibirsk-5 power station. It appeared that in October 2023 the parties reached an agreement regarding the shares of Sibeko and the case will not be pursued.[13]
