Background on Plant
The 83-MW coal-fired Raichihinskaya power station is owned by Far Eastern Generating Company, which is in turn is owned by RusHydro.[1][2]
The first unit was commissioned in 1953.
However in 2009, the largest and newest turbine with 100 MW capacity was moved to the Partizanskaya power station.[3]
And in 2020, two units with 19MW of capacity from the first stage were retired, leaving 83MW of installed capacity in operation at the power station.[3][2][4]
The power stations provides electricity to Amur and Khabarovsk regions and heat to Progress settlement. The system of heat supply is closed[2], therefore the settlement is a captive heat user.[2] Coal is supplied to the plant from the Raichikinsk coal deposit - for example from Severo-Vostochniy coal mine.
The plant produced 479 million kWh of electricity in 2020.[4]
