Background
The two-unit, 200-MW coal-fired Partizanskaya power station is owned by Far Eastern Generating Company, which is a subsidiary of RusHydro.[6]
The plant’s two units were brought online in 1966 and 1980.[7] In 2009, Unit 3 with 41MW of capacity was retired as one of the turbines was decommissioned and replaced by a 100 MW turbine moved from the Raichihinskaya power station.[7]
Partizanskaya power plant generated 844 million kWh of electricity in 2020, 1006 million kWh in 2019.[8] In 2021 electricity generation was 945 million kWh.[9]
Modernization
In 2025, Partizanskaya power station continued a multi-year reconstruction of its hydraulic facilities, including upgrades to the spray pond and ash disposal site. Sections of the spray pond underwent complete refurbishment, with new pipelines, supports, and cooling components installed, while works at the “Zelenaya Balka” ash dump increased dam elevations to comply with environmental standards. Further reconstruction is scheduled for 2026.[10]
In September 2025, the plant completed major repairs aimed at increasing equipment reliability ahead of the winter season. Turbine unit 2 underwent an overhaul with an extension of its service life, including replacement of sections of the main steam pipeline and testing of the fire-extinguishing system. Earlier, turbine unit 1 had also been restored to factory parameters. Significant work was carried out on boiler units 1 and 2, including safety inspections, diagnostics, and replacement of key high-temperature components.[11]
Coal Expansion
In April 2021, RusHydro announced that it would expand the Partizanskaya power station by adding two additional 140 MW power units, bringing the total capacity to 480 MW.[12] The new units were planned to undergo construction from 2022 to 2026.[13] The government decree from February 2022 confirmed the planned commissioning of the new coal units by 2026.[14] Technical and economic evaluation for the expansion was carried out in 2021.[15] RusHydro's 2021 annual report referred to the investment project and its total estimated investment cost of 76.2 billion roubles.[16]
A media report from October 2022 mentioned that the development of design documentation for the expansion of Partizanskaya GRES was completed and the technical part was transferred to Glavgosexpertiza.[17] In April 2023 it was announced that the plant's expansion was chosen as one of the projects implemented by RusHydro that will undergo a public technical and pricing audit.[18] Furthermore, RysHydro's press release from April 2023 commenting on the board of directors' meeting stated that preparatory work is under way for the expansion of Partizanskaya GRES.[19]
The government decree on the implementation of the programme for the power industry for 2023-2028 updated in February 2023 further confirmed planned commissioning of Units 4 and 5 in 2026.[20]
In July 2023, the project received an approval of the project from the State Expert Review Board (Glavgoskespertiza). Construction works are expected to last 34 months.[21] RusHydro will be undertaking construction, the general designer is Lengidroproject. The cost of the expansion is estimated at 76.2bn roubles (same as previous estimate).[22]
As of March 2024, construction was on-going.[23][24] As of Q4 2024, completion was postponed to 2027.[25][26] As of December 2024, a 150-meter-high chimney has already been erected, a transformer substation for power supply of construction sites has been installed and put into operation. Pits for cooling towers have been developed and the frame of boiler No. 1 has been erected. [27][28]
As of October 2025, the the second stage of the construction works was 65% complete in August 2025, with the main turbine equipment partially acquired.[29]
As of December 2025, construction activities for the new units at Partizanskaya power station continued. Additional equipment was delivered to the site (including a power transformer) in November 2025.[30] Tendering processes related to the plant expansion was also ongoing.[31]
In November 2025, assembly of the first steam turbine for unit 4 was under way, with the lower sections of the high- and low-pressure cylinders installed on a reinforced concrete foundation 12 metres high. In the boiler bay, burner assemblies were being fitted to the first boiler and heating surfaces to the second. Construction of the new turbine hall had been enclosed and insulated ahead of winter.[32]
In November 2025, Rosseti commenced reconstruction of the 220 kV switching substation "Partizansk" at a cost of 4.9 billion roubles (approximately US$54 million). Upon completion in 2026, the facility was intended to form a new grid hub integrated with the expanded GRES, enabling power transfer from the new units to consumers in southern Primorsky Krai.[33]
As of April 2026, the governor of Primorsky Krai reported construction readiness at approximately 70%, with commissioning of the new units scheduled for the end of 2026.[34]
Potential Transition to Gas
In January 2024, transition of the plant to natural gas was proposed. The Minister of Energy and Gas Supply of Primorye region stated that an appeal was being prepared to Gazprom to adjust the gas supply scheme for the Partizansky District for 2026-30, including for the power plant. Gasification of the plant will require the construction of a gas distribution station and a supply of 35km gas pipeline.[24][35]
Financing
In May 2023, it was reported that RusHydro wants to cover up to 40% of the project cost, i.e. 30.5 bn roubles, with funds from the National Wealth Fund.[22] In September 2024, it was reported that RysHydro will borrow close to 80 bn roubles via a syndicated loan.[36]
In January 2025 it was confirmed that VEB.RF (Vnesheconombank) and other partner banks started disbursing funds under the 79 bn rouble syndicated loan.[37] RusHydro and the State Development Corporation VEB.RF have agreed to use the "Project Financing Factory" product for the construction of generation in Russia's Far East.[38] It appeared that the the grant from the National Wealth Fund was not pursued anymore.
Environmental impact
In 2017 and 2018 several videos were posted on YouTube of black smoke emitting from the plant, and an employee of the plant reported that the smoke was coal ash escaping due to improperly fitted pipes and boilers.[39]
