Background
The 150-MW coal-fired Severodvinsk-1 power station is owned by Territorial Generating Company No 2.
The plant’s initial four units were brought online between 1950 and 1977.[9][10][11]
System Operator's document published in early 2023 listed the plant's capacity at 150 MW consisting of Unit 3 (30MW) and Units 5 and 6 (each 60MW).[12] Installed capacity decreased from 188.5 MW to 150 MW in 2020, this was due to Units 2 (26.5 MW) and 4 (12 MW) being retired in January 2020.[13] Unit 1 was retired earlier in 1992.[14]
Coal to gas conversion uncertainty
In 2011 another coal-fired plant in Arkhangelsk province owned by TGC-2 was converted to gas - Severodvinsk CHP-2 power station.
In July 2016 TGC-2 announced that it had chosen a contractor to build a gas-fired plant that would replace Severodvinsk-1.[15] In February 2019 the Ural Turbine Plant, which manufactures gas turbines, was contracted to replace the plant's two turbines in 2020.[16]
In June 2021, the regional government announced that it planned to convert Severodvinskaya CHPP-1 to natural gas in two stages. The first stage would involve the commissioning of a boiler, with a target completion date of December 2022. The second stage would entail commissioning of two more boilers in March 2023. Completion of a full transition to gas was targeted for the end of 2023.[17] Another source from December 2021 referred to three new boilers and two new steam turbines with electric capacity of the plant at 60 MW after the completion of the project.[18] Later, a media source from May 2022 referred to the high readiness of the project, stating that the equipment from the manufacturers was ready, soon to be delivered and installed together with all related work on the laying of the gas pipelines.[19] In December 2022, it was reported that ELSIB factory has shipped two generators to the plant, each with 40MW of capacity.[20]
However, there was no mention of the new gas-fired units in the Ministry of Energy's Order on the energy sector development for 2023-2038 dated February 2023 or in the supporting materials. These official documents only listed one coal-fired Unit 7 to be commissioned in 2024 to replace Unit 3 that will be retired the same year.[12][21] Likewise, the construction of gas-fired units was not mentioned in Ministry of Energy's Order on the energy sector development for 2024-2029 issued in November 2023.[22] The planned conversion to gas was mentioned again in the media in February 2024 without any specific details.[23]
According to the updated Scheme and Program for the Development of Electric Power System of Russia for 2025–2030, published by the Ministry of Energy in November 2024, the new Unit 7 to be commissioned in 2026 and will operate on gas, while coal-fired Unit 3 will be retired in the same year.[24] [25] There was no information about another gas unit or the planned retirement of Units 5 and 6, as per these official documents.
Another source from November 2024 stated that once the modernization of the plant is complete, the installed capacity of the power station will decrease from 150MW to 60 MW.[26]
In November 2024, the Government Commission on Energy Development reviewed proposals for modernizing the Severodvinsk-1 power station. Gazprom Energoholding was instructed to submit revised project materials to the Ministry of Energy. According to materials from TGC-2, which were presented at the commission meeting, the company proposes transitioning the power plant from coal to gas as its primary fuel. The estimated capital expenditure for the modernization is RUB 17.6 billion.[27]
