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, Sovgavanskaya CHP, Советско-Гаванская ТЭЦ.

Background
In June 2007, Far Eastern Generating Company (a subsidiary of RusHydro) announced plans to build a two-unit, 120-MW coal-fired power plant in the Sovetskaya Gavan area to meet power needs for the growing commodity port in Vanino.[3] After substantial delays due to lack of funding and inadequate local infrastructure, RusHydro signed a financing agreement with Sberbank in March 2013, providing $1.4 billion for several Far Eastern projects.[4][5]
Site construction began in August 2013, and Far Eastern Generating Company announced plans to expand the project to 360 MW at a later date.[6][7] In April 2015, boiler installation began.[8] By late 2015, a new transmission line had been completed, the 150-metre chimney trunk was finished, and contractor GlobalElectroservice was replaced due to bankruptcy by Ust-SrednekanGESstroy JSC.[9][10] In November 2016, the railway from the plant was connected to the main rail line.[11]
The plant was originally scheduled for commissioning by end of 2017,[12] later pushed to 2019,[11] then to 2021.[13] In May 2018, RusHydro engaged its own subsidiary to complete construction after two of three tender bidders withdrew.[14][15] By October 2019, construction was 65% complete, with commissioning targeted for Q3 2020.[16] A further delay due to the Covid-19 pandemic pushed commissioning to end of 2020.[17] Units 1 and 2 were commissioned in September 2020.[18] Turbines were supplied by Kaluga Turbine Factory, generators by ELSIB, and boilers by Krasnyi Kotelshchik. The plant is equipped with electrostatic precipitators with 99.6% efficiency and a 150-metre chimney.[11][19]
In December 2020, the 240-MW Phase II was officially cancelled by the Ministry of Energy.[20]
The station produced 400 million kWh of electricity in 2021[21] and 621 million kWh in 2022.[22]
Coal Supply
The plant initially sourced coal from Urgalugol coal mines, but subsequently switched to coal from Kuzbass, which is cheaper. However, rail transportation of Kuzbass coal has created logistical issues and supply security concerns.[23][24] In February 2026, the State Council Commission on Energy held a session dedicated to reducing the use of long-haul coal from Kuzbass and Khakassia at Far Eastern power plants. Imported coal accounted for approximately one third of total regional coal consumption — around 4 million tonnes per year — creating additional strain on the Eastern rail corridor and raising electricity production costs. A set of proposals aimed at expanding the use of local Far Eastern coal resources was submitted to the Ministry of Energy for further consideration.[25]
