Background on Plant

The six-unit, 565-MW coal-fired Omsk CHP-4 power station is owned by Inter RAO.

The power station runs on both Ekibastuz coal and natural gas. Although the power station's turbines are rated for 565 MW of capacity, as of June 2021, the TGC-11 website only lists the plant as having 385 MW of installed capacity.

Environmental impact

In 2017 it was reported that the plant received a permit to expand its ash dump without its Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the expansion being approved.

In November 2018 it was reported that the plant's operator TGC-11 has refused to sign an openness agreement with the Ministry of the Environment that would allow for monitoring of emissions.

Safety violations

In November 2019 an inspection of the plant found that it had failed to comply with hygiene and sanitation standards for its workers.
