Background

The Shatura GRES power station is one of the oldest power stations in Russia, founded in 1920 as part of the implementation of the GOELRO plan. Initially, it operated on peat, but now the main fuel source is gas.

In 2010, German E.ON and its subsidiary OAO OGK-4 officially launched a new combined cycle power unit with the capacity of 400 MW (PGU-400).[8] The introduction of the combined cycle unit at the Shatura GRES power station marked a milestone as the Russia's first single-shaft energy block featuring the most potent serially manufactured gas turbine in the F-class category. The unit's efficiency exceeds 56%, surpassing by more than one-third the benchmarks of other operational power units in the Russian thermal generation sector. Since the commissioning of the unit, the nominal capacity of the plant has increased to 1500 MW. Due to its environmental characteristics, the PGU-400 project became the first Russian initiative approved by the United Nations under the mechanisms of the Kyoto Protocol.[9]

Ownership

In April 2023, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on the temporary management of assets of companies associated with foreign countries in the event of blocking of Russian assets in those countries. According to the decree, 83.73% of shares of PJSC Unipro, owned by German holding Uniper SE, have temporarily come under the management of Rosimushchestvo.[10]
