Omsk CHP-5 power station is a 860-megawatt (MW) coal-fired power plant in Omsk province, Russia.
Location
The undated satellite photo below shows the plant, which is in Tsentralny okrug, Omsk city, Omsk province.
Background on Plant
The four-unit, 860-MW coal-fired Omsk CHP-5 power station is owned by Inter RAO. The plant’s four units were brought online between 1981 and 1988.[1]
Environmental impact
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.[2] In June 2019 pollution was observed in the Irtysh River near a discharge pipe from the plant.[3] In October 2019, responding to environmental concerns raised at a meeting of the REC citizens' group of Omsk, a representative of TGC-11 stated that converting the plant to gas would raise electricity rates by 70% and was too expensive.[4]
