Sovetskaya Gavan power station (ТЭЦ в г. Советская Гавань) is an operating power station of at least 126-megawatts (MW) in Vanino, Vaninsky, Khabarovsk, Russia with multiple units, some of which are not currently operating. It is also known as Совгаванская ТЭЦ, Советско-Гаванская ТЭЦ, Sovgavanskaya CHP.

Background

In June 2007, Far Eastern Generating Company (a subsidiary of RusHydro) announced its plans to build a two-unit, 120-MW coal-fired power plant in the Sovetskaya Gavan area, in order to meet power needs for the growing commodity (especially coal) port in Vanino.[1] After substantial delays — partly due to lack of funding, and partly due to inadequate infrastructure in the area — RusHydro signed a financing agreement with Sberbank in March 2013, providing $1.4 billion in financing for several projects in the Far East.[2][3]

With financing in place, initial site construction for the project began in August 2013. Far Eastern Generating Company also announced plans to expand the project to 360 MW at a later date.[4][5] In April 2015, with construction underway, RusHydro began installation of the boilers.[6]

A new transmission line was completed in April 2015.[7][8] In October 2015, the construction of the trunk of the 150-meter chimney of the plant was completed. In September 2015 the plant's contractor GlobalElectroservice was replaced due to bankruptcy by Ust-SrednekanGESstroy JSC. In November 2016, the railway from the plant in Sovetskaya Gavan was connected to the main rail line.[9]

The plant was scheduled to be brought online by the end of 2017,[10] later pushed to 2019.[9]

In May 2018, after two of the three companies in a tender for a new construction contract withdrew their bids, RusHydro apparently decided to hire one of its own subsidiaries to finish building the plant. Construction was still scheduled to be completed in 2019.[11][12] In October 2018 RusHydro announced that the plant would be finished in 2021 instead of 2019.[13] In October 2019 RusHydro stated that construction was 65% complete and that the plant would be commissioned in Q3 2020.[14] In May 2020 it was reported that commissioning of the plant would be delayed until the end of 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.[15] Unit 1 and Unit 2 were commissioned in September 2020.[16]

Turbines were supplied by Kaluga turbine factory, generators by ELSIB, boilers by Krasnyi Kotelshik. The plant is equipped with electric filters with 99.6% efficiency and a chimney of 150m.[9][17]

In December 2020 the 240-MW Phase II of the plant was officially cancelled by the Ministry of Energy.[18]

The station produced 400 million kWh of electricity in 2021[19] and 621 million kWh in 2022.[20]
