Background on Plant

The four-unit, 175-MW coal-fired Severodvinsk-1 power station is owned by SINTEZ Group. The plant’s four units were brought online between 1950 and 1977.

Coal to gas conversion

In July 2016 TGC-2 announced that it had chosen a contractor to build a gas-fired plant that would replace Severodvinsk-1. In February 2019 the Ural Turbine Plant, which manufactures gas turbines, was contracted to replace the plant's two turbines in 2020.

In June 2021, the government announced that it planned to convert Severodvinskaya CHPP-1 to natural gas in two stages. The first stage involves the commissioning of a power boiler, with a target completion date of December 2022. The second stage will entail commissioning of two more power boilers in March 2023. Completion of a full transition to gas is targeted for the end of 2023. As of November 2021, the first stage of the conversion was reportedly already underway.
